Like popping a bass but not as hard. Once your finger gets calloused it’ll be louder also.
Is bass supposed to be soft?
That being said, a good bass player should be comfortable plucking both soft and hard depending on the tone s/he’s trying to get. While it’s generally not necessary to pluck hard, being able to dig in is important. Tone, rather than volume, is what determines how hard you need to play.

Why is my bass dull?
Your bass probably sounds muddy because you have too much going on in the 200-400 hz frequency range. These are the “mud frequencies”, and they include a lot of stray frequencies from quite a lot of different instruments. To avoid a muddy sound, make EQ cuts in the 200-400 hz range.
What makes a bass sound bad?
In a bass we want as balanced a sound as possible. If one of the strings is by its nature on the skimpy side, that can be a problem, especially for the fat E. Or the low B on a five. Keep in mind that every neck will have a few dead spots, places where notes do not speak as well as others. That is the nature of a wooden neck.
How do you pluck a guitar with one finger?
Pluck the string to get the sound of it, and then try to hammer on the string with your middle finger. After that, you need to pull off the string with your middle finger.
Why won’t my guitar sound when I tap?
That’s because the string you just plucked won’t move in any direction. String has to be moved in order to vibrate. Vibration is causing the sound. When there’s no enough vibration, there’s not going to be enough sound, consequently. Of course, you’ll need to practice the technique of pull off first to be able to perform tapping properly.
How to play guitar tapping properly?
A proper pull off of the right hand finger (if you’re right handed) is perhaps the most important thing when it comes to proper guitar tapping. You can use index finger or a middle finger to perform a pull off. Either way, it is important to pull the finger you use downwards in order to get the sound from the string you play.
