    One thing many leave out is instrument. The instrument matters. Not all basses produce the same sound and that depends on various factors like string height (too high, much harder to play), tension, action, tone settings, wood, type of pick ups etc. These things matter greatly, it's not just the technique. Especially If you're a beginner. It can be frustrating when you hear these clean snappy pro instruments and you wonder why yours sounds like thuddy dead wood. String height was a big one for me when I started out. It was too high and right string tension, it made it incredibly hard for me to play and I had no idea. It takes time and patience sometimes you learn the hard way but keep going. Don't get discouraged. Hope this helps.

    • @adroit57

      Any instrument with a good set up will be able to sound "pro" if the player is good

    • @bobasquid3339
      @bobasquid3339 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @@adroit57 but for a bassist who is starting out, who's technique isn't as developed yet, it matters. Believe me, the instrument makes a huge difference. Once you're more advanced and have experience, then yes, you could probably make the worst instrument sound ok.

    • @RubyDimasStudio

      That is true, for example just puttting new strings have a big impact in slap sound.

    • @Paintplayer1
      @Paintplayer1 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When budgeting for a bass, budget for setup and strings. I have songs in my band, all of which I wrote the basslines for myself, which I have difficulty playing on a bass that isn't set up or that has old strings, which I can play effortlessly on my own bass that I keep set up and equipped with good strings

    • @gihad87
      @gihad87 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is true, although I heard that if you are able to learn stuff and be able to pull it off on the oldest cranky guitar you can find, then when you move to something higher grade it will be so much easier and sound much better.

    Subbed!! I've been playing guitar since around '99. I've always loved listening to bassists and watching them play with their fingers. When I learned about slap bass, I was super interested. Okubo Hiroshi made that interest peak substantially since the mid '00s and since then I've wanted to get a bass. Life has gotten in the way, but I think the time has come. Time to get a cheap bass and start practicing!

    Less claypool and victor are my top bassists of all time. Strait masters at the craft. I'm left handed on a right hand guitar. I never converted so most of the techniques for normal playing is hard to apply to me. But I still enjoy playing.

  • @justsomedude5727

    I'm not great at slapping compared to Pick or Fingers, but a cool technique I found is to slap your thumb on the artificial harmonics (slap the string 12 frets up from the note you're playing) it gives a cool octave effect.

    A request - from a VERY long-time bass player and an admirer of yours: The one link in the chain in your videos that I would love to know is your sound gear and recording. Presumably you use a compressor - type and settings, eg ratio etc? That would be very useful. Then EQ - how are you setting the EQ to get that lovely balanced tone from the highest notes to the lowest? What's your recording chain like and is there any difference in your live performance audio chain? What sort of amp, speaker setup do you use, for example? Your sound is impeccable, but would love to know how to get it - or even close to it... Keep up the good stuff. Respect from here Down Under.
