I dunno...I don't think I've ever seen faster bass wankering. towards the end it gets pretty quick. Show me better and or faster if you have it.

Ehhhh some may call me jealous but I don't envy his style at all. I've watched his other stuff, and almost none of it could ever be played in a live situation with a band... for money at least. Some cats may like the bass solo stuff, but I prefer to lay back and groove with the band. Very few have ever made a living on this type of playing. As long as he's enjoying himself though, that's all that matters.

Didn't really do much for me. Yes, he's fast, but so what? Didn't care for his tone, but the tone on these youtube vids usually sucks anyway.

So I just thought he was fast. Did i think he was the best player in the world? No. didi I think it was the best recording in the world? No. Just thought he was pretty darned fast at a few points...that's all. Take it for what I put it up for....the guy is fast. that's all I said.

Oh yeah the Billster! I loved his little solo on DLR's Skyscraper song, Two Fools a Minute.

That was cool to watch but hard to listen to, you know? I could definitely never do that and I have nothing but respect for anyone who can but that kind of playing hurts my brain after about 30 seconds or so. Don't get me wrong I wish I could play that fast sometimes. Both of those videos would have been more enjoyable for me with some tempo changes and not just a couple of minutes of look what I can do. Still cool to watch those guys for a little bit though.

He said he wanted better and faster, and he didnt say it had to be a bass.

I have been waiting for somebody to post a thread like this. Can anybody honestly tell me they've seen something faster than this?
