    The slap bass technique is a staple of rockabilly and psychobilly music. Didn't know it was used in blues until I heard a live recording of Willie Dixon ("Big City Blues & Howlin' Wolf in Warsaw" - a great little album released by Radio Poland).

    I love the fact that there appears to be such little effort in his playing. I know so much is going on, but his touch appears so light, controlled and just in the pocket. Just completely awesome. This is a perfect example of how simplicity and control prove perfection when debating differences in technique, soul, and musical training.

    I have played piano since a kid. I got a little electric bass made for me as a gift because my both hands are injured. It has helped me a lot with piano, too! They are the combination that is for my ears the best. I have been wondering of voice. I have always been acoustic with pianos and singing, and the little cute handmade electric bass is just so wonderful! I love music. I want to thank you all for these things. Let's listen and learn some more, day by day!

It was the only time that, at the first note, a chill ran up and down my spine. This was real Chicago blues that I had only read about and heard on record!. And when Willie Dixon sang "29 Ways" and others it was sheer joy. The man was a genius.

    I've been listening to Willie for probably 30 years. As a string bassist, I've always been envious of those big hands/long fingers. Most good playing is really technique, but when you can wrap your hand completely "around" the bass neck -man, that's a big advantage.

I don’t see Dixon or any other double slapper doing much with their thumb other than using it as an anchor. Electric slap bass in its most popular forum as most people know it started with Larry Graham making up for a lack of rhythm when the drummer left his mother and his band.....but again who started what wasn’t my original point.
