Waste of an Alembic one, and secondly- just 'cause you can post to Youtube, doesn't mean you should.
I was hoping for Stanley Clark, but got Stanley Roper on bass (*Three's Company reference).

Priceless.
BTW, you guys are doing it wrong. Watch it w/the sound muted, then read the comments.
You sir...are a genius.
The comments are superb. Classic internet.Priceless.

Priceless. Absolute gold.
Really, it could have been worse. There was some cool stuff in there, the biggest problem was his timing. I guess I don't have a problem with someone "pushing the envelope", it's how you find out what you like and what you don't. It actually would have been better without the backing track. Was it good? Absolutely not. But I'm not one to pick on anyone else's playing ability, it's not like I'm a world class bassist. I am better than that, I think, though.
Look at the clothes and whatnot. Just a kid. He's passionate about playing, though, so I'm willing to bet over time he'll be okay as long as he stays with it.
But yeah, less money on stuff and more money on lessons probably would help this dude out. Better gear does not equal more ability.

Guys. He said himself that he got an award from Berkeley college of music. I mean come on! Obviously this guy is teh rawk god of bassists... Then I watched the video...
All my pre-conceived notions that people who own alembics know what they're doing just went completely out the window.

If he really got an award from Berkeley, I would think that he would've been able to hear how bad his tempo was? I mean, come on... I proof read most things that I write, that should apply when showing the world what "skill" you might have. Right?
HOW could it be worse?
Given the cocky attitude, I would doubt he's going to get any better because he's already a rock god.

Mammogram is down but I'm working manually
To be honest, there are WAAAY worse videos up on Youtube.
I just went and watched one of my favourites. They all had no shirt on too.. I'm beginning to see a link here....

Yeah, I get you. I hadn't read the comments until just now.
I suck, but at least I know it......
