Hey everyone! I just got the VM JB 77, and being playing a 5 string bass for so long that the first thing i had to do was to slap!! :lol:

Im in love! I know a "real" Fender could sound better but… Im happy :P

Take a listen on this random groove I recorded to test and tell me what you think about it:



Cheers!

Great sound I think. I just can't seem to wrap my brain around how to slap. No real instructors around my parts so depending on Youtube, just not in my range so far.

Good playing to, nice groove.

Thanks, there is an old book from Tony Openhein called Slap It, its great, i think you can order it online from a good book store, also, on Youtube look for a guy called Alexis Sklarevski, he has a very good video about slap, both starts with basic concepts.

Hi hieronymous, sorry for the long delay, i was unable to log for some time.

The bass is doing great! I mostly owned 5 string basses in the past, and this VM 77 made me feel back in the roots, where Im willing to stay for a long time hehe. (Still keeping a 5 string around for specific gigs, just in case tho).

So yes, Im pretty happy with it, until I can get a MIA JB or maybe a MIJ GL.

Cheers bro!
