Reminds me of primus :) im 13 and just started bass, my guitar sucks but someday i wanna be almost as crazy as this guy is at bass :) thanks for the inspiration keep on keepin on man!
rapido y furioso... te admiro bro. pero esta sucio el solo... es rapido pero no impresiona por como lo estas tocando... podrias hacer eso en uno de 5 cuerdas si que se escuche sucio??? o por eso usas 4?
I came across Vail unwittingly and got a lesson from him showed his technique on double slapping.I asked him what he thought of Les Claypools style since he is my main influence and I laughed when he said ....never heard of him !? great guy.
Sorry. I do not know this man, however, it looks like I should.You rock, dude! Definately would like to see you get together with Flea from the red hot chili peppers after seeing the way you move around.What a show that would be.
And his thumb is still on his hand after that.....Great player....Don't care for the Kubicki Factor bass all that much....He can afford an Alembic or a Jaydee or a Status.
looks like Flea?
