I never got into Hamm (although he's a great player), more Louis Johnson when it comes to slap bass. Can't find any links to videos on google videos though
That's the thing- Billy can shred faster on a bass than 99.9% of people can on a guitar! He's not all about speed, but like you say, when he lets rip, it's awesome.
Without doubt you're right. I live with someone who thinks Travis Barker is a 'virtuoso' drummer!! Decent drummer, yes. Virtuoso, no! Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Mike Mangini et al = virtuoso drummers!
More please?

here another bassist thats just as talented though this one may not be quite as entertaining to listen to
Right click on the links & save the files to your hard disk. Some of them are pretty big, but it's worth it for some of the playing!Oh, and you'll need the Quicktime Player to view these too.

They're all from Basslobster so check it out if you've got time :thumb:
Oh, my fave is still the louis johnson one. I've got the full video. Fucking ace slap bassist.
nice work
The louis johnson one is really impressive, is that a musicman he;s playing? ;p
will have to watch the rest later (jaco one has to be good ;p), cheers for those!
On a side note, Billy Sheehan is the WORST bass player ever. Dear God, he was dreadful when I went to see Steve Vai.
*owns musicman* [/gloat]
Billy Sheehan is a genius. Flat out. Every time I've seen Vai he has been mindblowing. He has been voted the greatest rock bass player in the world so many times in the bass press it isn't even funny. Maybe his sound sucked hen you saw Vai for some reason,
You like muse and DT too do you? Awesome. My 2 favourite bands. DT live at Wolves in october was legendary. Just incredible.
