I'm the world's fastest bassist. I hauled my bass in my Corvette at about 130mph.

Sounds wonderful......

 

[SgtHulka]

He actually sounds pretty good considering how fast is playing but he's not playing at 660 beats per minute, that's just the metronome.

 

[James P]

That would be a warm up for Steve Harris....

 

[Jeff Scott]

 

[Nashrakh]

Still sounds better than the speed record for Banjo (look it up at your own peril).

 

[JohnArnson]

Honestly I can play faster than that.

Ain't that fast really, and definitely not 660BPM.

tapping doesn't count!

Jaco Pastorius - just he is dead.

Jaco Pastorius - just he is dead.

I do not get it!!!

 

[MJ_Sotti]

Ahhhh. The 'ol "flight of the bumblebee" school of playing.



this is more like it

I do not get it!!!

What exactly don't you get it ?

 

[Raw N Low]

I was the world's fastest bassist...until my wife told me to slow down.

 

[Lobster11]

But can he play a slow blues?

No mention yet of Stanley Clarke? During the many shows that I saw him perform at, and many of his recordings, I would say he ranks right up there. And that’s with hands that can palm a Volkswagen Beatle!

I got a TrailBlazer SS up to about that with two basses, and SVT and an 810 cab in it.

Fast fingers don't matter to me. I can do fast licks. But can those fast licks move people? That's all that matters.

That wasn't especially fast or complex. The Adrian Davidson clip was MUCH, much more impressive.
