Spreading the bottom end

I was spending some time in Guitar Center today, looking for a good used bass (I'd like to find either a high end five string, or a mid tier one that I can turn in a MIDI controller). While I was there, this young kid came up to me and started asking some questions. He was thinking about picking up bass as an instrument, because "...guitar was boring, even if his dad wanted him to play it." He said that he wanted to learn how to slap like Flea, so I handed him the bass I was playing and showed him the basics of slapping.

Who knows, he could be the next Flea. In any case, it's nice to see a new convert to the bottom end.
