Buckethead is an amazing bassist
 

Need I say more?

That was nice but nothing extraordinary and I love Buckethead.

Seems like the archetypal 'I think I'll hit the bathroom then get a drink' bass solo.

I saw Buckethead (with That 1 Guy) last April and he didn't break out a bass. The guy is amazing on just about any stringed instrument. I've seen better videos of him playing bass so don't judge him on this one (even though it's not bad by any means!). Heck , the guy can slap a guitar like a bass and it sounds killer.

Facile, to be sure - not my cup of tea.

Wow no one here liked it? I thought it was funky as funk can be!

Buckethead is a helluva bass player, indeed.

I've always loved this video...especially the last 3 seconds haha :D

Im sure he is really good..but i wouldnt know it just by watchin that vid.
(and I suck) ;)
id say it was..ok.

Don't fake the funk. Which is exactly what he was doing in that video.

That was far from amazing bass playing. And if you asked him, I am sure he would agree with me.

Interesting watch, though. Not trying to be a killjoy, just not "amazing" bass playing, kind of a mislabeling.

Yeah but he's an idiot

He maybe an idiot but he's got some good moves for a Jackson wannabe, good for a laugh!

He can slap to a drum machine and when he turns the drum machine off he can out wank any kid in GC.

But can he play bass? We still don't know.

I liked the vid though.

Not my definition of amazing but it's a fun jam. I can dig it.

I thought it was good playing, but not spectacular. It is proof that Buckethead is a solid musician in that he buys into the role of the bass and thinks bass, not guitar.

I prefer to watch him do the robot or rock some nunchucks.

Buckethead Rocks.... <close thread>
