Ever heard of sixsixtysix?

Victor Wooten Has one, Ive never seen him use it but I know he has one.

Les claypool does as well.


I've seen vic use his, he tweeks harmonics and stuff with it...sounds pretty cool. I've HEARD les use his, but never seen it, he just bends notes still sounds really cool though.

kahler makes(made) them...you can usually find them on ebay
hipshot also recently starting making one
 
apples and oranges = vic and les

vic certainly has the chops of 10 leses
but les has a VERY distincitve sound, he is very creative and he has an impeccable sense of strange rhythmns.

they are both excellent players.

There is this band called sixsixtysix and they are a speed metal/deathmetal band. The drummer is faster than Pete Sandoval(Morbid Angel) & has the talent to back it up. The guitarist is the best ever and the fastest ever. The bassist will make you cry how fast/complicated/unique he plays. Here is a sample of TAB I got from him personally:

E|--6-6-6-6-6-10,10,10,10,10,10-10-4-0-4-2-4
A|8--9-9-9-9-9-----------------2-6-12-9-7-3

That is all played in about 6 seconds time then his solo is(written by him personally):

D|12--13--9--19--20--16----
G|--19--18-18--17--18--20-

All played in about 4 seconds. I didn't put hammer-ons or pull-offs or anything cause I don't think he does that. But he doesn't slide up and down the neck, he just friggin' goes. I swear on all that is unholy this guys hand and fingers are a complete blur. He play the ENTIRE Anesthesia(Cliff Burton solo) in under a minute. The guitarist is amazing the drummer is fast and furious and has style in his patterns. I don't think anyone could play as fast as these guys. They don't have albums and they only tour on the true underground metal scenes...quote from bassist: "We don't need...need to get approval, just...we f******play our songs and let the other band come on stage and rip it, then go home". He's not the most intelligent but he is fast on the four-stringed monster. quote from the guitarist: "When we f***it up, you know we were f******' there, I mean when Dave[drummer] hits the cymbals we better be ready to f******' go!" Again, they're not the smartest bunch, but damn!

Hmm

Well Chris Richards (Suffocation) could teach this guy a lesson or two. Don't spread nonsens like this again.

True but its just a matter of opinion. I prefer Jazz over rock so of course i'd think that wooten is better, but yea there both great players and each deserve cudo's of there own.

Coypu: didn't you read the rest of this post. They don't have any albums, they don't even record live stuff. They are not into commercialsm(spelled right?). Come to southwest Ohio/northern Kentucky and find them yourself. They usually play near here.

I live in sweden. Ok, you its hard to say then.

Are you familiar with Shawn Lane? Are you claiming the their guitarplayer is faster?

Have you heard Origin, is their drummer faster than that guy?

Have you heard Chris Richards of Suffocation or Pete Perez of Spastic Ink? Is the bassplayer faster?

I somehow doubt it so check them out and try be with honest with us.

I don't care what you say about sixsixtysix there is noone who can play faster than these guys. There might be someone who can play as flawless but not as fast or faster.

Who cares - is music a race??!! :rolleyes:


A pneumatic drill is fast, but I wouldn't want to listen to it all day!!

Leave "competitive sports" on the track or field!!
