    1:21 when I was a kid I saw the first "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie. In it, there's this guy in the "bad kids/Foot Clan" hideout that's absolutely shredding on the low frets on a bass guitar. For all my love of shredding on the guitar, I've always liked the look of fast, muted power chords and this sample exemplifies that perfectly. Well done as always.
