Oh Lord, here he is again. His technique reminds me of Doug Johns, but not quite the same.....

Tight and funky though - that technique seems to work really well for them!

extraordinary!

Is that Remco Hendrix? He’s a funky piece of something on a fretless. First saw his videos a few years ago. Almost made me give up!

Very Impressive!

 

I console myself that, while I will never play bass like that, he can't do my job. And mistakes there have bigger consequences than any on stage.

Great right hand technique. Possibly started as a guitarist? I often play with my thumb as well, having first plearned to fingerpick on the guitar 40 years ago and every bassist I've found  that does the same started the same way (cue indignation from 500 basschatters that do the same and who have never touched a  geetar in their lives.)

 

He's very tight and precise too. He's practiced that a good few times for sure. Fair play to him.

Very 'Primus'. Love it!!

Lovely playing, right up my street in terms of how I'd  'like' to play. Reality is a loooong way off though.

Hmmmm. . . . another technique I can't do. The list is getting longer!

[Sparky Mark]

The playing technique of both hands is exceptional. The thumb of his left hand leaping from behind to over the fret board was interesting; it looked like he was using it to mute and/or fret the E string.

[SpondonBassed]

I'm tempted to break my thumb and set it like his...

 

Rhythmic, bouncy, melodic.  It's a joy to listen to.

Of course, classic technique is two fingers, relaxed at first then as fast as you like.   😉
