Question:

Why are percussive sounds on the bass guitar so loud?

when using slap bass, popping or whatever else, why do you have to lower the volume of the amp?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Because you're hitting the strings harder than you would if you were playing them with a pick or with your fingers.
