That video I posted of Gary Burton's composition "Brownout" led to me listening to the bassist on that album, the incredible Abraham Laboriel, and watching his incredible use of the bass. He's an irrepressible musician at an age when I am too tired to even consider the possibility of performing like this.
Here's one of him playing an 8 string bass. Lots of the techniques on the Gary Burton piece, recorded forty years ago, are still there.
