This next technique is most effective when played "up the neck", that is, at higher pitch.
A staple of slap bass and bassists in general, the popped hammer-pulls can be a great tool to add to your kit!
The technique itself involved no thumb work at all during its phrasing. It is also a boundless technique, meaning that it can be played anywhere on the instrument, with any combination of notes. In my example, I will play a run of six notes with a root of E, however you can expand this to make runs of more than six notes, repeating runs, etc. The list is endless!

Check out the video above. For this example, I play popped G-String 11th Fret, popped G-String 12th fret pull-off to 11th Fret pull-off to 9th Fret, hammer on to the D-String 11th Fret, then popped G-String 9th Fret, which completes the root E phrasing.
You can then repeat it over as many times as you think makes musical sense for the piece you incorporate it into. This technique is great for "end-of-bar" accenting within a song, or for repetition during a solo rendition. It really gives a groove a lot of punch and adds colour to any piece!
