Holy bass face.

Kudos to him for pulling it off, but to me it sounds like c-r-a-p.

Good stuff, Danny Elfman composes some really out there stuff not intended for solo instrument, so of course it's going to sound a tad chaotic, but that's cool, Great job.... but are you really that surprised that you're playing it?

Didn't mean to knock your playing, which is excellent, but the piece doesn't lend itself to solo bass. That's all I'm saying.

Solo Bass is an OXYMORON. More often than not it is self-indulgent.

Proof that there's plenty of uncharted territory to explore on a 4-banger.

I admire the work that went into it. No criticism can deny that this is an achievement. Good for you.
