Pick up his record "undergroundalienbass". If you can find it. Good stuff.

I couldn't do that with 3 hands, maybe 4.
Is he strung BEAD, cause it sounds like he gets pretty low?
Amazing.... |

Amazing.... | Yup, he does. He was at Low Down Sound last month, got to talk to him. The lighter string tension helps with the one handed stuff, I think the attack works better, obviously less finger pressure needed too, which helps the speed.

And the dude is light years ahead of me. The drummer dropped the groove a couple times, but the bass was tight the whole time!
Good for him, seriously!

That video made me smile. And practice.  |

I'm digging the lined fretless graphite jazz.

Good player. I linked to his record on CDBaby.
Pick it up. |

|  | Yeah, I'm a guy! Moderator | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Marana, AZ, USA | | Inspiring and depressing all-in-one.
It's inspiring in the fact that he lost his hand but found a way to overcome it and not only play well but to rock! 
It's depressing because even with both hands and I can't even begin to approach his level of playing.   |
