They are more different than similar (Abasi plays 8-string guitar and plays mostly in a metal band, albeit an instrumental and very original one, Animals as Leaders) but Tosin uses his fingers and particularly his thumb in very much the Wooten style (ever seen Wooten's brother?), is Wooten's equal as a ridiculously virtuosic beast, and is very tasteful and soulful when not thrashing your head off.

Here is a ridiculous video of Mr. Abasi (not metal):
