I found him just from surfing on youtube. This guy has some pretty mind-blowing soloing abilities. Interesting lines containing cool outside playing etc. And IMO, some chops that are in close proximity of Feraud, Garrison etc.
Here's a NAMM show clip:

The only "criticism" I could really give would be that his tone has been a little thin for my liking for his soloing (at least on the clips I've seen).
But he has a much fuller bass tone when he's laying down the groove:

I wonder if the extent of his tonal differnces can be attributed to different rigs, or if he has extreme tone controls on his bass that he changes when he's grooving vs soloing.
Anyway, what do you guys think of him?
Katsuji Morioka - Serious soloing ability!
