Must remember he has years of experience and I'm sure he put a lot into finding the correct way of playing the bass. These basics are extremely important... listen to them!😊😊🤔

I wonder if someone can help me. I can slap the 4th and 3rd strings open but once i try to play the 5th fret or higher on the 3rd string it just makes a boop sound. How can i fix this???

I'm loving those DR pure blues bass strings. They have the stainless mid brightness and vocal tone with all the full round tone and zing of a nickel string with that dr round core

Great presentation Daric, cheers!

Great video! The thumb technique, parallel to the strings was HUGE!

I believe the best way to get started when it's your first time attempting slap is to utilize the same method of opening a door knob with your forearm relatively parallel to the bass strings and using the thumb near the knuckle like a mallet striking a piano string would, immediately moving away from the string after striking it...no need to strike hard, just accurately, which comes with time. A good set up definitely helps, too. Great point about simply cranking up the treble knob is not the key to great slap tone, Daric and that intro was doooope! I like the new paint choice, too!

There is merit to the “light touch” technique (in slap and fingerstyle) - turn turn your amp up way too loud and play gently and precisely. Dynamics are under-appreciated!

Good teacher on aspects of playing and music and nice playing as well

Good video. One thing more, I believe, the setup of the base. I find it difficult to get sufficiently low action without excessive string buzz.

Man, you play so well that even with a mess nobs you sound sooooo cooool.

Right😭

Your sound & technique are awsumm!! Would love to sound like that..

Knowing what to do with the eq, good information and I make sure I'll take that advice.

Your presentations are great. A solid focus on the core elements of slap. Your videos inspire me to practice more and think through it! It’s great to hear you getting some menacing zing out of those pickups. fwiw the MusicMan flavour of funk/new age is getting boring for me. Wild with the busy thumbing! The more i practice double thumbing the more i let loose with hyper downstrokes and freaking love it. Cool name bro 😎

This is very, very good Daric, nice Bass wishes to you..

Awesome video man.

Love that GK cab very nice.

Probably half way tone is better for that if you got round wounds and you constantly change em or boil em.

New here, and new to the nation. Been trynna get that raspy metallic ringing outta my bass string like that. Oh look, a video on something else that completely solves my problem, hahaha

How to have good slap sound.... Be Daric Bennett.

gracias!!!

👍great info.

Ty! What gauge strings do you use? Have you ever boiled dirty strings?😂. Used to do that back in the day. Actually gets some more life out of em.

How about a lower action? I get a much better slap tone with a decently low action (not extremely low either or it starts to fart)

You are a wonderful person. Thank you for this beautiful video, your brother from Iraq 🙏🏻🌹

my bass dont even produce any sound when I slap the strings. should I slap the bass guitar instead??

You probably have high string action that your string can't hit the fret to create slap sound

Wooooooooooooow man, your slap sound is amaaaaaazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey so is it true that you could boil your strings to get them back to New?

@pedrocucaracha

I don't know if back to new, but definitely you will bring most of the brightness back. Explanation? You will get rid of all the grease and grime that naturally sticks to your strings and changes the tone. You can try it, it won't hurt...

It’s a decent bass!!! 😂 nice way to word it!!!

It might be the action that needs to be adjusted. Sometimes when the strings are too close to the pick ups it can create a clicking sound. Try adjusting that and see if it helps

I like to scoop my eq.

2:46 Mark King tone impersonation

So you're using a compression pedal or effect here, aren't you? I think that would be a key to a great slap tone that I didn't hear you mention here

My attempts at slapping yield Just dead notes with some harmonics maybe

A beast when it comes to tone! Elrick, Sadowsky, and Mike Lull are my fave 3. What's yours?

Your worst slap tone is better than my best bass playing!

I get this harmonic hum when I slap and it kills me.

I'm getting Seinfeld vibes, hahaha.

Mid 70s Jazz bass

nickle plated elixir strings.

When I see and listen to great bass players like you immediately it comes to my mind the incredible band called CHANGE they wrote some of the best disco-funk songs of all times and their bassist was out of this world!

I like this Cat 🌈

I know it doesn't sound good, but I love playing that terrible tone. It tends to make me attentive to when I'm getting a little too "wild" 🤣

Another pointer is to record yourself! Thought I sounded good but really I sound like an epileptic have a seizure on my bass 🗑

Me never slap because i play in bands where i dont need to slap

Me with a bass with 2 knobs ._.

Pour jacter, ça va... Qu'il se mette à la trompette, par exemple ; il ne pourra pas parler. Pour la basse, le "slap" ou ce que tu veux, t'as encore du boulot. Alors joue, et parle moins. Ah ah...

I have to disagree, that string freshness is so key (pun unintended). Getting fresh strings just delays the process. Start slapping first and all the other stuff will come. The guys I hear slapping with dead strings and not-so-great IQ is scary. Play first! Other stuff is bonus!

Sheriff of Funk, King of Groove, Earl of Groove, Funk of Nottingham, Deputy Minister of Groove, Prime Minister of Funk? Who are you really?

Step 1:New strings

That terrible slap tone almost made me turn the video off

sounds like crap because the action is too low

slapping is old.....its not true bass playing

i have an easy fix. stop slapping :P it has no place in a band

Thank you
