His isn't as weird as that guys. Collapsing of the fingers at the end joint looks really painful to me.

Berlin Released Sheet music, and some guy tabbed out where the notes were but not in the best areas to play them on power tab. This guy probably played them exactly how it was tabbed out. But his technique still is weird. It reminds me of Sonic for Sega when ever he would spin upside down when he was underneath a gust of air.

That being said, I can say that he is putting too much effort into moving his left hand fingers. I think it would be hard to play for a long time moving that much. If you watch most (notice most, not all) of the 'best' palyers, either guitar or bass, they don't move the fingers much. The guy in the last link in the tread is a good example. Very little left hand effort.
It's not that it's wrong, just ineffecient. If he gets the job done then he has great technique. But as I said earlier, I don't know how he could play for long periods of time.

Ibanez player's hand is flying so wildly around that he can't possibly play with much accuracy and will fatigue quickly which will cause him to compensate for crappy technique by using crappier technique.
Fender guy is playing on the flat pads of his fingers and dead center in the middle of the fret, a sure sign of a self taught player that doesn't understand where his left hand power comes from.
You might laugh and Spector man but his economy of motion and fingering accuracy gives the best result. He clearly has some formal bass training. If you're going to copy one of these guys, copy him. |

Definite spider-fingers goin' on there.
Another example of someone so hell-bent on playing fast that they have no clue of style or groove. |
