@kramer87 Yes, yes, I know. You see, two years ago I used to troll quite a bit. Don't do that anymore. Language sir, language. I mean really. Shame on you.
I met him and saw him play on the Peavy tour back in 93' at Pops in Sauget, IL - he allowed me to play his 9 and 11 string bass....as best I could...what an awesome guy and killer musician. The speed at which this guy is capable of is mind blowing....a must see to believe.
I don't hear any kind of groove there. Just a lot of percussive nonsense. That dude needs to take some serious lessons and learn how to play a real bass not that ridiculous guitar/bass hybrid monstrosity.
@fenderbass I think most people could do better at playing the "bass". Can't figure out what that thing is... Guitar/bass hybrid. Why not just go all the way and just play the Chapman stick. Sorry, this guy sounds like crap.
Bill Dickens plays his signature Conklin ERB7 seven string bass. It is not a hybrid thing. Every bass guitar player is aware of that, as Bill has been on the scene for about 40 years. His seminal bass work is basic to contemporary bass players.
@touaregkc Yes I know. I was trolling with that comment over a year ago. Before the term "troll" was fully known. I don't like his style, but I will admit he has talent and a firm grasp on the dynamics of musical theory when applied to the bass guitar.
I play a Conklin GT-7 string bass. not bills sig edition but the stock and its a sweet tool man. To see him walk up and down it like that makes me humble as hell...

I don't like the way his bass sounds too much. I think that white finish really dulls the true potential to its sound.
