+1, it also sounds like he's only using 3 fingers. 2 is enough for me!

Not to sound like an ass, but i really doubt you can play faster than his guy. Hes one of the most technical non famous player ive ever seen...here's another clip of him playing with 4 fingers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfUPgS-BkXM

and yeah, I would love to see you play faster with 2fingers. mind posting a video or something?

well he is fast. But I'm only about 10 bpm slower than him and none of what he played was too impressive. Brandon my boy you have to check out some more bass players as was previously stated.
