Not Bass But It's A Finger Technique

I have thought of many ways to do quadruplets, but this never occurred to me:



This was nuts live (or a version):


That's cool! I do my sextuplet figures kinda that way, using both sides of my fingers:



1 - Thumb down
2 - Thumb up
3 - Index up
4 - Middle up
5 - Middle down
6 - Index down
...

This way, you're getting six notes in a single wrist movement. Once you get the basic motion down, you can get it up to absolutely absurd tempos with relatively little effort.
