Absolutely brilliant playing   :D

  Playing ( what in many parts ) looked like chord melody, at speed,  on a Bass guitar - and staying loose and Funky ? 

WOW ! - That man must be able to chill beer just by looking at it ...  8)

As a bassist I admire his obvious talent but like nfe,  I can't stand the slapping thing.Each to his own.

Reminds me of the bass playing on a number of Zappa records in places (though that could just be because of a vague resemblance on the player's part...).
I too use chicken as a measurement.

Whoa that lad can PLAY!

A bit strange that no more than 1 person clapped him at the end of that... I clapped and I'm sat here alone in the house at the minute...

Only just seen this... it always amazes me to see people who can play bass so effortlessly.  Those big strings are so much harder to play than guitar strings (and they're hard enough).

I'm not the biggest fan of slap bass either, but in that context it's so musical, I really enjoyed it.

I HATE those arseholes who make disparaging comments about musicians on YouTube.   Even if they can play better themselves, they should show a bit of humility and respect.  Tossers.
