Can someone give this kid a Wolfgang and a Plexi?
I'd like to hear what he does with that. He needs to be electified (in the good way).

I don't think Ben lacks anything, he's a very dynamic musician. Loopers, rhythm, and drum machines could be substituted for a bass player for the rhythmic (portions/sections) of the song unless Ben wished to play the Bass himself (which no doubt he could).

I was being sarcastic :D . He was basically playing 'slap/pop' Funk Bass style imo. Could you imagine IF a bass player was trying to play with that ? I'm not trying to serve up any sour grapes here, cause I respect the time & effort that was obviously put into what that guy was playin' but it didnt do anything for me.

Definitely reminds one of the movie, "August Rush". With all the rhythmic accompanyment he does, there's not much else going on is there? although, I can still appreciate the chops.
