I used to be able to slap - not particularly well, when I used my JD Mark King Bass, but since I bought the MM 18 months ago, I just don't seem to be able to adjust my strap to find a comfortable position standing up to play slap as I used to.
If we play " Car Wash" at a gig, not only is there a fairly simple slapped phrase at the end of each verse, I am also supposed to do a slap solo - but it sounds horrendous and my wrist gives up after a few bars - I am well out of practice.
Learn every style if it appeals to you, as you never know when a simple bit of slapping might enhance what you are playing.
