Yoshihiro Naruse (Casiopea) - Tune 8-string bass solo

[Stingray5]

I managed 2:30 this time, which is a PB for me and YouTube videos of bass solos. But only because I couldn't quite believe that what I was watching was real.

I've already filed him under talented people I'm jealous of.

I like the sparkly bass.

Unsure about all the pockatapockataboinkityboinkitypockatapockataboinkityboinkity stuff though. Heard a [i]lot[/i] of that since 1983.

Jon.

they're not that cheesy Japanese band who have achieved Level 41.63 are they?

Hasn't Les Claypool been doing stuff like this since forever?

This guy has been around a lot longer than Les I'm afraid....

These days, they're probably more 42 than 42 are

With half the talent, yes!

This guy is a great player. I like the video on youtube where he shows you some of his bass collection. I'm sure it includes Warwick, Kubicki, Spector etc etc...very good taste!

Uh oh. I hope you're wearing your flameproof underpants.

I don't think they'll be necessary! I've not seen half the fanboy-ism for Les now that there was 10 or even 5 years ago! He is a talented bassist and very creative aswell, but the Casiopea players are fusion heavyweights, a field I just don't think Les has the talent to play in!

[thisnameistaken]

Claypool would smoke those cheesy fusion chumps any day of the week and look cool doing it.

[blamelouis]

That video is awful as are the band, plastic wannabees -_-

[theosd]

This guy shows about as much reckless abandon as [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=69204&hl=shy+retiring"]our man here[/url]!

Bizarre set-up.

Not familiar with him I have to say, but I have heard of the group...

I'm sure he is a good player, but talent is subjective at best. One man's meat is another man's gravy as they say

I could not agree more!
