I was trying out some stuff on my bass,i found some rubberbands lying around.I put them on my bass.it sounds kind of trebley.But then you hit the string downwards it sounds like your Slapping.well to me tho.go try it,make sure you put it on some of the higher frets.

Personally, I prefer actually slapping. And really, my bass doesn't need any more treble, the amount it has is staggering. Just ask anyone who knows anything about my bass.

Sometimes when my fingernails grow out it sounds like I'm using a pick.
When I pluck harder, it sounds like I'm popping.

Well, that makes obvious sense. A pick is just a solid surface that doesn't provide any cusion, as opposed to your fingers. And a pop is, in essence, just a really hard pluck with your fingers.

If you are interested in something that uses rubber/silicon strings, try an Ashbory bass. It's fairly small, and the silicon strings give it an upright-like sound. Here's a video I found of someone explaining it and demostrating the sound. http://youtube.com/watch?v=FD4SwJlqzWcHere's a clearer video that demonstrates the sound a little better. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lxBSsVu88a4

Well, as treble-filled as your tone is, a Yamaha still can't replicate the tone of a Ric. It's not just the brightness, there's also a killer amount of the lower tones.
I'm sorry, but there's no way a yamaha can accuratley rip off a Ric tone.
