Thanks, I understand that for sure - I only occasional use slap in the band setting, but it is a whole lot of for fun when practicing at home. Hope you continue to have fun with it

This almost sounds like the gallop. The sound made famous by Steve Harris.

[@SlapBassSchool]

Yes, for sure. Steve is really good at adding in mutes/ghost notes into his playing

@@SlapBassSchool Is it possible to get the same sound with a finger style attack as slapping?

[@SlapBassSchool]

@sinakaedwards2009 Flea does a nice job with some of his basslines - they sound like they are slapped, but really he is just attacking the string much hard fingerstyle. So for some players if they really dig in with finger style, can get similar sounding results. Thanks!
