well I've never put any effort into learning how to tap
Yeah I started trying to learn how to sweep pick about a week ago
Oh boy
Comping, sightreading and sweeping. Sweeping I think I'm making headway with. Comping fucks my mind
You get a winner for doing a bit better with sweeping
So hard, but it'll be worth it in the end
Said I'd put some pics. My 2 yr ole' friend. It's an Hora 12204-CTW. Sorry for teh pic quality.

It's great. Action could be lower but it's playable.
Duct tape some EMGs to it. That can't [I]possibly[/I] go wrong.
[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;27711902]Sweep picking... lol
Nah seriously, for me it's doing stuff like tapping.
Everything else is easy as hell[/QUOTE]
I tap roughly the way that I play octaves. Finger down firm on the string you're using, but use the tip to mute the string above it. Muting and a quick tap/release with the right hand are what is most crucial for good-sounding tapping.
As for me, my most problematic techniques are string-skipping and sweep picking.
What are the good brands for bass amps?

At least it has cut outs, I mean what's the point having your fretboard so high when you can't reach the damn frets.

[QUOTE=Kab2tract;27717863]And it is only 22 frets![/QUOTE]
Something like that needs at least 36 frets.

man i was pissed off you won't believe.
but it seems to work right now! just gotta clean up the connections :buddy: and ground everything off, it has a suprising low amount of feedback due to the shielding.

Yeah I haven't really focused on techniques, I went more towards theory
Except pinch harmonics, I did that myself

[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;27711868]What is the technique you all stuggle the most with?
Just asking out of curiosity.[/QUOTE]
I have never figured out how slap bass works. Everything else I can do to at least some degree, even if a bit slow, but it'll get better over time obv. Slap is completely beyond me, even having a proper bassist trying to show me how it works.
I'm learning how to play slap guitar, my teacher is showing me how
You just create a piano hammer with your thumb to slap and pull a string (Usually with the index finger) to pop.
The action between the two is all in the wrist.
A lot of the work is in the fretting hand too though, that tight slap bass sound comes from the percussive sounding muted notes. I do a combination of muting with both hands but I wouldn't be able to explain how, it just evolved. I Pop with my middle finger rather than the usual index finger.
