I've never heard of him before but he has a great funky style and a great sound from his bass. No idea what the bass it is tho but I can hear some stanley, Marcus, Victor and Mark King under his fingers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxh6l3LGaKY Enjoy Jazzyvee olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2653 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 5:04 pm:    Great solo and great player, I believe that's an MTD (Tobias) bass.

You may want to check out Billy Dickens, from Chicago, arguably amongst the finest players ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy6WwtnJB9I&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v013VMcrl10 And he's not just about slapping. I was present at a clinic where Bill Dickens and Larry Coryell were presenting together, and they played "Giant Steps". Afterwards, Larry told the gathering that Bill's solo on "Giant Steps" was the best he had ever heard anyone play, on any instrument.
