Most ridiculous bass video...

Sign in to disble this ad
...that I've seen in the longest time. I don't even know what to say about it. I'm so distraught right now.

I mean, I've seen some crazy custom basses out there but this is over the top. Plus he absolutely shreds! Anyway if this has already been posted, feel free to delete it. I did a search but couldn't find anything.

It is a rather silly set of instruments isn't it?

He absolutely shreds... in his bedroom

But uh he's way better than I knew I was supposed to want to be. He embarrassed my dreams.

When:
1) Your bass looks that stupid, and
2) You upstage your stupid looking bass with your shredding, then
3) You can play any ugly bass you want, sir.

I think its this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro7we...D3828C&index=4

I've seen some vids where he is part of a serious Japanese group. Obviously a pro.

But really, how much do you have to practice to get that good? Incredible player.

Then there's this:

Which, in turn, inspired the "this note is so big it takes two men to play it" approach here:

As one of the youtubers said "I'd be impressed by the playing if I wasn't so scared shitless."

Same here. GREAT chops.

The guy in the first video should have just picked up a six string guitar and had done with it... he clearly isn't a BASS player.

Awesome.
It would be lame if the player sucked, but he obviously doesn't.

That's where his camera is. You can't put something on YouTube without a camera, now can you?
