Cheers Scott, your breakdown of this technique is brilliant, I'm actually progressing with this thanks to your insight in to the slap technique.

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks for the kind words, Chris. Really glad it's helping

I love your lessons Scott. I've been playing bass for 2 years and this is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Top quality.

Glad to help! Thank you! :-)

[@georgyj111111]

That's what I've been searching for years on RUclips. Thank you very much!

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks - amazing to hear!

[@irtazamehdi2856]

Great truss rod tips, required action, & how you set up your bass to facilitate your playing is often completely missed out. Excellent video, (at 17:00).

[@ScottWhitley]

Thank you!!

[@irtazamehdi2856]

@@ScottWhitley You are most welcome Sir!!! (Subscribed!! :-) ).

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@scottpsychodub6385]

Great lesson 👍

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks, Scott!

[@stephenmitchell2979]

Lovely fluid little riff Scott.
Cracking sound and nice bass.
Interested how you had it dialled in on the pickups.

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks, Stephen. As I recall it was both pickups on (bridge set to single coil) with a slightly boost on both the treble and bass controls on the bass itself. Mid flat

[@tinocarandente1782]

Grande Scott...i like your T shirt ;-)

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks. :) :)

[@AstroPeanut]

you're the scott manley of bass

[@jlj07050]

What are some starting points for getting a basic slap tone going? Running a Jazz Bass into an interface on GarageBand. Any suggestions appreciated!

[@ScottWhitley]

My approach:
• New, bright roundwound strings
• Low (ish at least) action
• Slight low and high eq bumps
• DI (no amp generally)
• Compression can help breath life into slap bass tones
Hope that helps,
Scott.

[@bartpaw8856]

When are you gonna do mr pink tutorial part 2?

[@ScottWhitley]

That's a good call - will try and get done asap!!

[@hughrocko6791]

Well hello bro. And wow

[@ScottWhitley]

Hya!! Cheers. :)

[@stephencouncil3066]

Do you adjust your control knob to get tone

[@baileygoodwin2002]

Sorry if you said in the video, but what’s the original BPM?

[@imusicstl]

What bass are you playing? Not a shorty, is it?

[@ScottWhitley]

It's an Ibanez ATK. I had it for a few months earlier this year. Lovely bass.
You're correct btw - it's a long scale bass. :)
