That funky stingray tone!!

[Mantaray]

I'd die to get the tone of this guy at www.funkychops.com. Do you think I can't get this tone because I have a SR and he has a Sterling? Also there's sth interesting here. Did you note his bridge? He fitted a muted bridge.

Please can you tell me how to achieve this sound?

Does he think he's THAT good so that he deserves freebies from EB ?
I don't think he's a good bassplayer. I just like his tone. Any tips?
Man, I should post MY slap samples!

My SR is exactly the same colour as his sterling. Even the pickgrd is black. Except I have a rosewood fingerboard and he's got maple.

"How does an Asian guy get so FUNKY?? GREAT CD, FAST SHIPPING!"


That is a great tag line. (straight from his website)

Never heard of the guy, I wonder if his teaching methods are good? I would like a fun and easy way to learn to slap. If anyone else has any good recomendations or tips on how to learn good slap technique, I would sure love to hear them.

Thanks guys.

I would stay far away from any "teacher" who poo-poos theory and goes so far as to call TAB boring.

I mean--the guy is too lazy to even use frikkin' TAB ?!?!?

Flash with no substance is no way to go through life....

hmmm.... seems to me that Strong Bad might have an Asian front called Jim Lee....

I've just learn't slap, printed somelessons of harmony central and learnt from there. It's juts practice, a lot of practice as you soon lose the strength in you're hand once you stop

There is a slap bass DVD from Ed Friedland who does a great job of instruction.

I don't use tab... not sure that's because I'm lazy.

Just ears here....guess I'm lazy too, but have big ears.

I use the little black dots... I've only got four strings to choose from, it's usually fairly obvious which note to play.

unsure why a response to your original post was ignored

Mantaray,

I really don't think he's doing anything special to achieve this tone. Try setting your rig up so that you have a good amt. bass and treble place the mid on about 4 and then use the sweepable mid on your Ray to get this sort of tone. This shouldn't be too difficult.

Hope this helps,

Flywheel
