How do you 'pop' on a bass?
How do you 'pop' on a bass?
Pardon my ignorance, but I was looking at the 'pig' bass tab and it says (p = pop) How do you?
"But I think I can speak for the band and say we're never, ever bored. Frustrated, angry, afraid, bitter, pissed-off, mad at each other, mad at ourselves but never, ever bored." - Matthews
a pop is
A) an accented note. just pluck it a little harder than you do normally.
B) a accompanying technique for slapping. hook the string, normally the d or g string, and pull it away from the fretboard so it snaps back and pops against the fret board. normally, you slap the E and A with your thumb, and pop the D and G notes with your middle or index finger.

In Stefan's case, (a) is the answer 99.9% of the time.GSRLessard14 wrote:a pop is
