Williiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis! Great as always. Please, someone should place adverts for Willis, saying: "Most underrated bassist in the world needs finacial help and well paying gigs..." Drop all these wanna be jazz bassists.... Check out all vids from Tribal Tech, Slaughterhouse 3, Scott Henderson, Loop doctors, Wayne Shorter, Triphasic etc. for more Willis pleasure!
Trust me saying this, Willis doesn't need any financial help and his name is renown throughout the world. (sorry for bothering you about this 3 years later... haha)
All 'dem UNT (University of Texas) boys is badass!! His action is super low and he plays really light. The volume on the bass is cranked, though. I know some people that knew him when he was a teen, and they say he comes up with a lot of his musical ideals while he's playing live. In other words, he doesn't "practice" the shit for a long time, then go out and play what he practiced :-) Amazing...
@freakyteakyterrorist "external pickup" u mean the roland Vbass? its a pickup that goes to an synthesizer. richard bona also uses it in his fodera. ;^)
@LRW74 as sad as it sounds...alot of stuff nowadays is not about how you play but about how you look as well... Are you marketable and so forth. Gary wants to be himself and dress the way he likes and play the way he likes. Sucks to not get the credit he deserves but I'm sure he is chillin'
