That slapping is much harder than it looks. I'm new to it, and its just as tiring as singing is for me at the moment. I've been playing "dreaming of you" by the coral as it uses 1-5 on the bass and anarchy in the uk. I;m working up to psychobilly freakout. It's easy in theory, harder in practice. Lots of forearm strength. I've got steel strings with a very high action as I havent had the bridge adjusted just yet, but getting there with my technique. I love playing it. So much fun and looks cool as fuck.
Thanks for sharing your journey! Slap bass is definitely a workout, especially with high action and steel strings. It's all about building that forearm strength and getting comfortable with the technique. If you ever think about switching from steel strings, Superior Bassworks has gut-alike strings that sound really good.
