mike b the flea!
When i saw those weird versions..well, i had to put down the right one.
Its one of my favorite exercise slap riffs, i always play it with my drummer for warm up.
intro: repeat x(2)
g---------------6-6-6-6-------------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-------|
d--2---------------------2--------------------------------|
a----------4-4--------------------4-----------------------|
e----0-2-3-----------------0-2-3--------------------------|
Ok, now here is that crazy part. Hold your slap thumb in line with string (horizontaly).
those `ghost` notes (x) - you have to slap them all....all..;) (bend them?) laik.
I hold the g note (e string, 3 field) with my thumb. Try it out..if it works for you..
Im sorry about all that...em...confusion..
Note: (e string is slapped, d and g are popped)

The point is...well you have to take this very slowly, and play it quietly.
but when you cover it completely, then slap the shit out of your bass..
