I have always plaid with one finger like Geddy Lee (not as good I may add) and have always wanted to learn slap. Sadly my right shoulder is permanently dislocated so my right arm movement is extremely limited (a bit like Trex would have been lol). After trying this technique, I'm over the moon that I can finally get that sound. WOW, a true game-changer for me.
Doug is true to his word about sharing his stuff backstage. Back in 2000 at CBGB (after their first gig after their breakup) he actually did explain his "pick" technique to me personally. Great group of guys! A of course great musicians!
Saw him with Living Colour last week in Switzerland ... it was a BLAST! Standing 2m in front of him and his stack ... 2h long pants flattening and pure enjoyment. This man is a LEGEND
g&l bridges offer similar weight and lockability - but there is no neck-thru sound to be had with g&l. A Hohner "Jack" with Steinberger licensed bridge might get you close (on a budget).
I was puzzled about that. I'm totally impressed by that technique of course but was wondering when it would start sounding like flamenco and which "palos" would you use it for. Never found the answer but very nice technique nontheless
Why are all great bass funk trapped in the 70's? 7 minutes of funk for example...What happened to funkabilities? Why we have nothing like Sexy Mama by the Moments? That was pure dope.

Doug Wimbish is one of my favorite bass player, he knows his techniques and he has patience explaining the technique.
To me, he's the most annoying.

Been a fan of his work since the Sugarhill days. Great player; great guy!👍🏾

Now that I have mastered Geddy Lee's Flamenco technique, I'm ready to take this on.
Such an inspirational man.
Attended a bass clinic he did at Long & McQuade in Hamilton Ontario yesterday. Great guy, awesome bassists. 🤘🤘
I really, really enjoy watching anything this man does.
Thank you, Doug is a hero for me.
Fast fast fast! Awesome Doug!
0:14 BASSically
Ah yes the classic BASSic joke
Love your playing man. Still listen to Stain on the regular
Thanks, Doug!!!
Living Colour; Stain - Go to school peeps. Doug done awesome!
Genius player - thank you!
Horace Andy session you killed it
Totally diggin that. Another Pearl of knowledge realized! Than your very ,very much!
Doug great stuff, works well. Thanx!!
Great camera angles
I can use this to finally speed up my primus songs
Wimbish rocks
Imagine if bassists played like this in glam metal..
Living color should have been huge. Way bigger than they were. But you could say that about a lot of bands.
Before he join Living Colour he was a member of a band called Tackhead. Listen those tracks and you hear a bassound played by Doug! I find it awesome.
Everyone is invited backstage. Let's go! ;)
legend
..study(and use.) them rudiments in this style...is key.
Doug I thank you for choosing the bass you're BAD @ss.
So dope
Anyone know what kind of bridge he’s got on that bass?
Looks like a standard Spector bridge

Groovy
This man rips on the bass
Sick
Yes man
Show 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
it looks like how Scott Reeder plays
Came looking for something completely different, but found someone over explaining "pop and slap" 🤷♂️
Seems it’s just a random word used as a name - certainly nothing related to flamenco in any sense. Cool that he’s being so original.
