Have you ever heard a bass faster than this?

[Slavematic Sound]

I listen to alot of Rush and Les Claypool and here and there i'll listen to stanley clark. This guy's name is Bill Dickens for those unaware. If you'v got a tune that has faster bass playing than this, hook me up please.

If you dont automatically down load it, then click under his picture and listen to that Super Skilled 15 fingered Bad Mo Fo.

I learned alot from this one piece, and if anyone has something faster, i need it.

ya hes a Bad ass

I think it's really similar to Victor Wooten's playing : both impressive and boring.
Listen to "Classical Thump", it's pretty much the same.

 

[Arrakis]

yea i was going to say it sounds sorta like victor wooten too. he's good. but it's not like it sounds pleasing or anything. just impressively fast.

I love the way it sounds. But i also love Classical and Jazz a little more than any other types of music. Not something for the Metal fans, its a Bass player thing.

I'm a bass player as well as a guitar player, but I still think it's impressive, but annoying.

maby your a pussy

 

[Jaar-Gilon]

nah, i agree. although most Solo-bass sounds fucken rad it gets very tiresome, very quick. its just too frustrating listening to something i'll never be able to do

 

[Thraxz]

Personally I think the bass is a rediculously overrated thing now-a-days. but i can appreciate talant... whole crap that was good soloing. I think it runs about a minute too long though. if this person was in my band i'd have him play like that all the time... underneath the guitars of course. oh the songwriting possibilities...

 

[Jaar-Gilon]

I doubt it'd be as good as you think, coz most bassists that can play like that are primarily intrested in funk or jazz so you'll be hard pressed to get a pure metal song outta em.

I'm fairly competent on bass. That's fuckin fast slap. Even so, it sounds annoying. If you want some unbelievable bass shit, you might check out Jeff Bradevitch. That's doublebass btw, but you might appreciate it.

You do realize this thread is already about Bill Dickens?? Right?

 

[Necrodaemon]

Oh damn! I'm a bass player too and this one of the mp3 is really fast and fukcing great! but i have to be honest, after 30 seconds this kind of "bass playing" breakes my balls
