Four Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen
Stupid newbie question: Is it bad to slap near the bridge? Every video tutorial i've seen has said to slap near the neck, right by where it joins the body, but i just cannot slap there.

I get a good solid slap tone from slapping below the pickup, close to the bridge, but I wanted to make sure that it's not some sort of taboo thing or something.

Thumb up, right by the bridge. Get a solid slap sound on all four strings.

Bass is a cheapo single pickup piece of poo poo. Get a nice solid slapping tone out of it with no issues, and it doesn't hurt. But since I've yet to take a formal lesson, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't OMGVERBOTTEN or something.
