Am i the only bassist who fucking hates the sound of slap bass?
It sounds meh. I prefer sustained mid-range bass lines.

slap sounds good for 30 seconds before it becomes a mess. it always finds a way to get on my nerves.

nobody wants to watch a shit bassist slap for 5 mins. but have you seen masters play, wooten, flea etc. the speed and technique needed whilst still being listenable is crazy

it's good if done properly. the wanky stuff annoys me a bit too but really slap bass is just accentuating grooves.
also take note of his superhuman right hand mute discipline
