- JonnieCache 16y agoJazz is a pretty broad church. You can certainly slap a double bass. That was the only way anyone could hear it over the rest of the band before amplification was common.
- wazoox 16y agoI know you can slap a double bass, but this is not what people are talking about when calling the instrument "slap bass" usually. It's more Marcus Miller than Charlie Mingus, though both make music called "jazz".
