To me this guy has a lot of valid points. We all know about the skepticism held by a lot of people about seven-string guitars; imagine how much greater that would be for an eleven or twelve-string bass? This Garry Goodman kid seems to have dedicated many years and quite possibly an absurd amount of money to designing, building and troubleshooting these instruments and developing the technique to use them to their potential, all the while being questioned, ridiculed, mocked and passed off as an anomaly. Suddenly, some random guy, largely through gimmickry, is being given $10000+ instruments and invited to teach master classes without having to deal with any of the hassles Garry has. While I can understand why Jean might be declared "unworthy" of an extended-range bass, I personally think that's a bit harsh. The fact that Nuclear Rabbit are terrible is evidence of his unworthiness, not the fact that he doesn't exploit the instrument to its full potential.
Hmm... might add to this later. Probably not though.
