Rock House Metal Bass

Has anyone bought the instructional DVD "Rock House Metal Bass" featuring David Ellefson?

I used search here and under technique, but didnt find anything. I would like to hear a short review if possible.

Another question: Is there any good instructional videos out there covering picking technique for bass?

yeah there's a clip from the vol 1 dvd on youtube.. it looks like a good foundation builder.. ive been starting to play with a pick for the past year and ellefson is IMO one of the best at it.

When I decided to get my picking stronger ( mainly due to studio work, if they want pick you give them pick. ) anyway, I watched ALOT of guitar shredder videos... The Paul Gilberts I & II are great.. and the John Petrucci was full of wonderful idea.... I simply transposed the ideas to bass and went from there.... I progressed VERY fast... No more losing jobs because I cant use a pick..
