E Dorian Slap Groove EDS01
Add to favorites 
This slap groove uses hammer-ons, pull-offs, 10th chords, harmonics and the funk peel-off. There’s a slow version and a close up of the right hand technique for the funk peel-off.

Hi Casimer,
Just came across your videos today (been away from all things bass for a few months since relocating- SHAME ON ME!!). I must say that your playing has inspired me to throw all of the non-musical “crap” out of the spare bedroom, set up my “new” music room & to playin’!
Thanks for the inspiration!

HI Marlowe,
U have anything on Upper Structural studies for bass, applicable to jazz improvisation?
Also would be great if u can lead me into some 12 tones application for groove playing… I understand that the choice of notes plays a very important role in this situation..
Cheers!!

Hi Leo,
could be various reasons for not getting the sound you’re after from your bass. You may be slapping too hard as you say, relax your arm/hand and let the the twisting of your forearm do the work.
It could also be that you’re not hitting the ‘sweet spot’ for slapping on your bass. On mine it’s pretty much the end of the neck, just after the 24th fret. It varies from bass to bass – slap up and down the string and see where the tone thickens up.
It’s also important to slap with the bony, knuckle part of your thumb for clean attack.
I wouldn’t mess with the action just yet, low is generally good for slapping anyway.
If you’re using light strings (e.g 40-60-80-100) then this can lose a lot of the roundness you’re looking for – I just use standards (45-105).
You might want to try nickel strings over stainless steel, as some people think they have a warmer quality.
Try tweaking your EQ settings and roll some off highs/treble too.
A good compressor can really tighten up a funk sound as well.
Hope that helps, if all else fails, cotton wool it is! Or maybe headphones for you.

Mr. Casimer
I have had a bass for about 6 months now and haven’t been able to slap a string without getting a nasty tinny sound when it hits the fret board. This is the first close up of this technique I have seen and cannot figure out how you accomplish this so cleanly. Am I slapping to hard? Should I try to raise the strings? Should I put cotton in my wifes ears? Please help me, I could be put out of the house.

: Hmm, the link has gone missing, let me locate it and get back to you
: Hey Marlowe, I bought the L253 in order toget the backing track. However, there is no backing track without the bass. Is there a way to get this?
: Thanks Marlowe! I guess I better start saving up. I can't wait to get one. I'm positive if I get one then my playing automatically gets funkier right? 
: Hank: my sig bass will be presented at the Frankfurt musik messe in march. I dont know of the price but i guess it will be priced in the same range as Sandbergs California models. There is a couple of american retailers, check Sandbergs site.
: Hi guys!
: hi, GospelBassMan
: Hello community!!
: Will your bass be mass produced? Do you think it will be affordable (relatively speaking) Will it be offered online for us Americans that wanna buy it?
: Thank you very much.

Hi, not sure if that was for Marlowe or me, but I’ll answer too. I got it for £500 about 10 years ago, it was second hand at the time. They retail for about £800 new. Cheers
