How Fast Can You Play?
- Thread starter Stickk

Dude, I can play so fast that it distorts the space/time continuum around me. If you put a clock near me while I play, you can see the second hand slow down and speed up. Sometimes it even reverses direction. Any butterflies in the area immediately revert to chrysalis stage. If I play too fast for too long, an atomic-level black hole starts to form and grow right over my bridge pickup.
I've been wondering who keeps screwing up the time/space continuum! Our proton accelerator here at CERN keeps jumping off the rails, just when we are about to recreate the Big Bang. Could you please turn your metronome down to 12,000,000,000 so we can finish up?
I'm so fast I get speeding tickets when I play!
I'm so fast you see my fingers move before you hear any sound!

Ho Hum, but is it musical? I enjoyed watching Steve Vai and Billy Shenan play once for about 5 minutes, they I started looking for something musical so I pulled out my ipod during the concert.
Beyond the point of anything musical. Speed is nice to have just likes its nice to have more headroom than you need.
Sorry, my bad. Don't worry, I'll tone down to sub-giga speeds since I've also received similar complaints from Cal Tech and Los Alamos.
mach 5.
i have to crank my amp to 11 to be heard over the sonic boom.
im pretty sure that is the answer that the op wanted to hear.

Two weeks ago I was playing my acoustic bass in the back of the RV while returning from a fishing trip.
So about 70 MPH.

I can play fingerstyle fast enough to keep up with Frank Bello or Steve Harris, at least for a little while. I am 40 and a mechanic, though, so my hands really aren't up to doing that for a long time anymore. I can still Motorhead it with a pick, though. 
I don't play fast anymore. The last time I did, my hand literally melted off, along with the bass, the amp, and my house. This computer's all I have now, along with this super powerful wireless internet service I found after I learned to play fast enough to go forward in time and steal one.
Yeah, take it from me, DO NOT PLAY FAST. Don't become like me.

That was GREAT!! Thanks for that =)
Oh, and I can play fast enough to finish the song before anyone else in the band. But I had to knock it off cause the other guys were poor sports and said they didn't want to race anymore
I can play so fast that I'm almost up to the point when I'm going to be able to catch our drummer and finish the songs together
Yeah... I was going to post:
Does it matter? No, Does it really matter? I guess it does if you're in a band like Nitro or something ridiculous like that.
