Simply amazing. BTW, that band he's playing with, Magma, is quite well known in the progressive rock/avant-garde music circles; the music (which could be described as progressive rock meets Coltrane, Carl Orff, Stravinsky, dissonance, fuzz bass a la John Wetton and weird sh**) is sung in an operatic fashion in a constructed language made in the late 60's. All the band's musicians are top notch.

Bump.

A great player and continues the tradition started by Jannick Top and Bernard Paganotti: Fender Jazz, Ampeg SVT and a cello tuning (octave below, of course).

Yep, Magma has a tradition of great bass players tuning in 5ths.
