Dude. When you request for information, I guess you need to be a bit polite. A lot of guitarists too know about bass playing. Being a beginner, this much arrogance is not good. Anyway. The technique you were asking is called Slapping, where you fret a particular fret with your left hand and with your right hand thumb, you slap the strings hard. You can slap the string at the place where the neck joins the fretboard, at the fretboard near the last fret and anywhere between the bridge and the neck. It's usually combined with another technique calling Pop, where pull a string or you could you would pop string. The octave of the note being slapped is usually popped to get give a nice effect. You could pop other intervals too. Anyway for slapping, there's no specific place to slap. Just give it a shot and get your sweep spot. Slapping at each place gives a different sound, so experiment and find out the spot where you like the sound of the slaps.
LOL Most of teh bassist wont be knowing what you are talking about. You know why? Technically speaking Bass is a fretless insturment which is shaped like a Cello. and none of those player do the slap, pop etc.
yeah....what ronnie said except that he meant 'sweet spot and not sweep spot'. Also check out slapping and popping lessons on cyberfret. I'm not a bassist. I shall proceed to sucking my balls.
Assuming that you are indeed a girl, here's a 101 course on how to ask a question a)Being a bitch doesnt help b)Undermining another community (in this case guitarists) while being a bitch doesnt help c)Try to be specific, not vague about your question, "..i think it's called...something.." Several guitarists around here probably know MUCH more about bass than you would in your entire era of playing, try to be nice you'll get answers.
@Disturbed-he's a guy with screwed attitude. @to the dude who made this thread-won't take you further man.learn politeness.
