I never heard of him before, but he looks pretty interesting.

Yep, he does some pretty out there flamenco style stuff. I've seen him play at NAMM in a friend's booth. You can find more vids on Facebook, he got a new bass last year from my friend that's the same model as my fretless, but his is a fretted fiver. I played it before it shipped, it was way cool. Better not say any more due to the CUP!

Wow.
Daily challenge. How many notes did he play during the set??

I love this guy, the whammy he uses with his style is awesome. His slap is awesome too, check out his instructional videos on youtube, i've learned a lot from the videos.

While stunning technique-wise, I don't hear a "song" or "tune" in the first 10 minutes. Now, when he did the flamenco part in the beginning, I was "Hey, coool intor, the song should be good.", but, where I was expecting he and the drummer to break into a song, it never really materialized. which kind of bummed me out.

Just to s**t-stir, you should post this in the "Uber bassist" thread.

Continuing to watch the video, I am surprised at the low level of Latin "groove" going on. will continue watching.

Like his tone, though.

18 minutes in, and my forearms are cramping just from watching this inhuman display of bass.

This guy chills out by crushing walnuts with his hands.

I'd really like to try that smaller sterling version.
