Bass Instruction: Slap/Pop with 16th note triplets

I really like this particular rhythm and try to slip it in occasionally when I am soloing. Here is my over using it like crazy for the purpose of illustration. When you are landing it right, it sounds nice and bouncy. In the video, I am mostly using this flavor:




It is fun to play and hopefully this will be fun for you to listen to and watch.
I do it slow at around 1:12, and then speed it back up.






Here is an example of it in action for real in the solo I do during a song we cover called Boogie Oogie Oogie. The first one shows up 9 seconds into the video.



Remeber to get your 16th note triplets on when you want to be funky - and what bass player doesn't want to be funky?
