For me this really has an effect on my playing as my finger gets 'lost' a bit under the G string when slapping! So, anyone else have experience of this and prefer the 'old way'?
I've never understood why people need ramps, I choose how much I dig in depending on what sound I'm after.
For slapping, I tend to pull the strings more across the fingerboard than up so I don't need to get right under the string. I also thumb the strings across rather than into the fingerboard as it gives a fiercer tone.
