Game of Tones #7 - How to Get Killer Slap Tone

The Quest for Tone continues! Ever wondered how THAT bass player gets such a killer slap tone? Well, yes, it's mostly in his hands, but his signal chain has a lot to do with it as well. We're talking slap settings in today's episode of Game of Tones. Be sure to download the Ableton file for this lesson if you'd like to use my settings and follow along - just go to thebassi.st/2m1...

Thank you. Very good lesson. Exactly what is needed.

[@skrubz9282]

Fast slapping slaps hard. I love it :D

[@jayl5941]

Super helpful!

[@JackMataXatu]

thanks for the useful informations. gotta try it out and find my own slap sound!

[@deadbeatstudios]

Awesome Jack! Let me know if you need any help!

[@SeverinoSE]

Interesting to see that you didn't do a low pass filter. It makes sense. A slap bass tone needs all the highs available.

[@karlc7182]

nice leeson😋 love that sound

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thanks Karl!

[@natipapena]

Jayme do you still have Aguilar HC pickups in your jazz? Just wondering as I'm looking for more samples of those and it's nicely isolated here. Of course I know your previous review btw.

[@georgschmidt2143]

definitely his M Bass + AG 4j HC :)

[@deadbeatstudios]

I honestly don't remember! But this one is definitely the HC pups thebassi.st/2pjsAhR
If you see me playing that bass it's the Hum Canceling pickups, whereas my white J bass is the AG4J60's thebassi.st/2ovpFCw
Hope that helps!

[@morriso4177]

great work

[@deadbeatstudios]

Thank you!

[@ashwinrajashekar]

what exactly does transient mean in this context?

[@deadbeatstudios]

Transient means the initial attack

[@markbass354]

Jayme what happened to plug and play , just joking this was real nice thanks.
Can you play the intro to Law & Order.

[@deadbeatstudios]

Haha I'll see what I can do :)

[@franklopez4742]

whatis the amp settings; lots of talk no precise direction; how do you get good slap bass tone w/o amp adds?

[@deadbeatstudios]

Hi Frank - this was a DI bass signal, no amp :)

[@austinjohnson9706]

What's the name of the app ??

[@deadbeatstudios]

Ableton Live :)

[@marcosrivera657]

Great!!! Me too

[@deadbeatstudios]

Awesome dude! Playing on a worship team anywhere?

[@marcosrivera657]

Church!!

[@marcosrivera657]

I hope we do a collab one day

[@bustabass9025]

My, what a complicated tutorial. I am sure you mean well but for the average bass hobbyists, it's very easy to get lost in all of the monologue and the rather foreign looking graphics. Just as in playing the bass, sometimes less is more. In this case I would second that motion. I would also hesitate to follow your online tutorials if indeed they are all of this level of fast and furious examples of what you do, not paced and instructional how-to illustrations of what I can do to become a better bass player. In any event, thank you for your efforts👑🎸🎵

[@deadbeatstudios]

Can't win em all. Thanks!
