I prefer Bill Dickens as a finger style jazz player. Don't get me wrong, he can slap well. But to me, he seems to place speed before the music. I can hardly feel the funk in all that flashy slap lines.
man ive seen this guy playing things like this before...and i think its a matter of the capture of the mic...or the audio of the video...he sounds great playing like this in some other videos...so i think he is good.
He does the same terrible sound in a NAMM booth and chuckles because he thinks it is all that,but imagine this...not seeing him play and only listening.I think everyone who said he was awesome would have a different opinion.That is the problem with videos...they help to promote a lot of trash. A newbie bass player looking at him would be in awe,and wouldn't give a fuck about how crappy he sounds.He is an awesome bass player,but when it comes to slap bass he gets a big .0000000 from me.Garbage!
I never heard such a God_Awful sound from a professional musician in all of my musical years. He has his strings set with low action for speed,but someone needs to tell him the truth.Music first and technique is second,and only if the technique enhances the quality of execution to sound.He sounds awful.I can't find the words that would describe that horrible sounding s... better.
@kennyreigh And if he likes that sound? what hes gotta stop anyway because you don't like it? dude if you was a musician you would know that you play for yourself first and others second. He looks like its having fun to me so fuck it.
Retardedly fast playing, sounding like bassist being electrocuted and having a seizure. The other guy tried to make comedy out of the sad situation. he failed misrably.
Billy is one of my best friends. Don't call him that. I have spent enough time with the man to know that he would be deeply offended by you referring to him in such a denigrating and ignorant fashion. Seriously, show some respect.

You aren't black either. You're a Puerto Rican, a mix of Spanish Conquistador and African slaves.
