I smoked for 3 years, and I've been smoke free for about 6 months.

as far as i know, it is not slapped.

Crapdragoon 01-22-2005 01:33 PM

nope

BassVirtuoso 01-22-2005 01:35 PM

I could have sworn it was slapped. How else would he do the rhythm slaps while playing?

BassVirtuoso 01-22-2005 01:37 PM

well the way i tryed it (i tryed learning the main part by ear) is fingerstyle , then a flamenco downstroke (well 2 actually) it sounds like its slapped, cause vics tone is so like pingy , but then oddly smoothhh :amaze:

Jamie 01-22-2005 02:38 PM

woah, rickenbackers are HORRIBLE! They feel disgusting to play although they are pretty!

I was playing a rickenbacker 4001 (i think) then I moved to a GSR200 and the GSR felt alot better...

(random rant)

$1000 marked down from $2100.

I am content with the pickups for now. They can get some nice crunch for slapping

coddingtown 01-22-2005 03:02 PM

[QUOTE=Crapdragoon]heh nice , action looks a bit high from that one pic though[/QUOTE]
Actually what attracted me to the bass was its playability, as in the action was really low and easy to play. I raised it a little, because I fingerpick fairly hard, but the action is one of my favorite parts about it.

edit- the action does look high in that one pic, its not though

I hate EMGs. I think they sound cheesy.

45-50 bucks on eBay. Thats how I got mine.

Jaded 01-22-2005 03:04 PM

I actually like Spector 5's more than 4's, which is weird because I am a 4 string elistest. I found that their 5 necks feel like a slightly bigger 4 neck. The shae is the same.

Saitoku 01-22-2005 03:21 PM

[QUOTE=Jaded]45-50 bucks on eBay. Thats how I got mine.[/QUOTE]
Nice. I'm having trouble deciding between the Boss and Digitech bass distortions and this thing.

coddingtown 01-22-2005 03:22 PM

Spector 5s are cool. I like how they only use 35" for them. I dont like anything less for 5s
