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

    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.

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

    Honestly I can play faster than that.

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

    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.
