Only about 600 G hits for ["击弦贝斯" -slap]
(The "-slap" is to exclude cedict-derived hits from the results.)

I really doubt that 击弦贝斯 could mean slap bass.
In slap bass it's not really about "hammering the string" (击弦).
It's more a case of *pulling* the string away from the fretboard with the thumb (by rotating the wrist) so that the string rebounds and slaps onto the fretboard.

We and other dicts have various entries that indicate that 擊弦 is about *hammering* the string.
That's a different technique from slapping the string.
Eg We have 擊弦類樂器 /hammered string musical instrument/
And K has 击弦乐器 hammered stringed musical instrument
(like the dulcimer)
Diff:
- 擊弦貝斯 击弦贝斯 [ji1 xian2 bei4 si1] /slap bass (bass guitar technique)/
