This is one of the best subtle bass players in the net. From Japan, I can play all that things, but he makes all so easy!!! Incredible, do you think you are born with these gift or you can develop technique better and play with more ease....
Subtle, and amazing...even more precise than every pros I have seen.

looks like someone with about 6 months of playing experience to me, who practices at least 3x a week.

This is the result of hard work:

This Is a very high level of natural talent with a ton of hard work. Notice how his movements flow effortlessly. That's what you should strive for.

Both are great players, but the second is more of a Natural IMO. Both can be learned over time, but hard work and dedication are the key.

If what you mean by "subtle" is that there's no fret clatter or finger noise, and that he's dialed out a lot of upper-mid/low-treble, I agree with you. Pino Palladino also has a tone that I'd call subtle vs. "cutting."

Most of the young players I hear use rounds and prefer a cutting sound with far more treble and "gank" than I like; subtlety is underrated.

No way.....improvisational skills, to know all chords like the guy I posted take lot more than 6 months,he also has very good technique....the guys you have posted are playing a piece that can be learn by memory and there are not many shifts between positions... the japanese guy can play freely in all positions and improvise he really knows the fretboard....I dont understand what you a re saying of him that he has only 6 months experience,, I have studied for years and can play a lot of styles I know how to read and I know about harmony and chords, I tell you that the Japanese can definitly play and knows a lot about harmony

So this guy did a song on Cowboy Bebop... nice.

Japanese bassists tend to be pretty serious. They have amazing stamina.
