Can we take a minute to shout out the drummer for switching up his groove by a beat and then switching it back around just in time for the walkdown at the end of every form? Crazy
Loved this mindset... “A lot of the times, for me, if I don’t have, a good, what I call a good idea, I’ll just try a bad idea. You know; and a lot of times, that bad idea will point you to something better.” - Victor Wooten
Wow, now this is truly a sight to behold: Victor Wooten playing a bass not named Fodera. Not surprisingly, he's killing it. Digging that super warm sax tone Bob Franceschini is getting also.
While it certainly is cool to see Victor Wooten playing something other than a 10,000 dollar bass, I think something Adam Neely said has never been more pertinent: "The man (VW) can make a tennis racket sound good."
I wonder if Marcus slipped Vic a couple g's like, "yo...vic... play one of my sires on that session u got comin up..." Well, it worked cuz I think I'm about to go ahead and pick up a 5 string🤔
Im diggin Victor on the sire, he sounds more like a bass player than a bass players player (if that makes sense). Would love to hear more of him on a jazz bass taking on more traditional bass player roles like this. No offence i am a huge fan of Vic doing the spotlight solo stuff but this made me happy.
Woooooow boy I....in November 2013 I watched Victor Wooten in person in the Luciano Alf's guitar institute in Rio, Campo Grande (a little far from Rio's downtown) and was absolutely out of myself for one week. He played extraordinarily loose and overall licks and phrasings and slapped coolly, total improvisation and now seeing him here again in Hancock's hit is exciting feeling provoked by his always exciting bass. Just grooving, soloing, supporting other players - everyone there is terrific, hats off to the guitarist keyboard man tenor sax drums woooow boy...- Vix is the best bass player in the world, since Charles Mingus Dizzy Gillespie or Cannonball Adderley I never saw an artist so devoted to his instrument, with so much attitude and virtuosity, like Hendrix's attitude, Jimi Hendrix, because Victor uses the bass as a tool like Hendrix, too. Hats off to him. We talked very briefly. He liked my live SMV Live in Vienne 2009 dvd record with Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke and Victor. I liked Grits, all that funky vibe. His solo was out of this world there!! Like here, now. Funky geniality. Cheers to you all, Carlos Bill, Rio.
;) I always loved Victor Wooten, discovered 25 years ago with Bela Fleck and the Fleckstones with their amazing Beatles covers. Sometimes, he plays to much notes ;) That's not the case here
He borrowed that bass from Bennie Sims, my friend from Reading PA who often records and plays live with Curtis Harmon and James Lloyd there and in the Philadelphia area.
I'm sure I'll get flambeed for this....but Vic sounds better in this video on that Sire than any of the videos I've seen of him playing a his Fodera.....
vekku96 i think it’s just his heavy handed slap technique . cause when he plays finger style it is fine. plus have in mind that a producer did most of this sound design.
I’m always amazed by his right hand technique .. using it like a pick that way.. I guess the finger got callous or callous become finger after long time lol 😂 try that with ur thumb.. I’m not kidding it’s really difficult and painful:)
IJ Hopkins I’m newbie bassist and it hurts! lol 😂 Seriously that’s encouraging to know- how long before it gets feels normal/ no pain? months to a year? I’ll keep trying.
Best Sire ad ever...... ;)
So true
More people need to hear this version. It was awesome to witness. Thank you!
It's both weird and really nice to hear Wictor Wooten doing "simple" bass groove.
He played on John Lennon's Imagine Album, no 'wicked grooves' on that album.
@@thomasshugar5636 what the fuck are you talking about
@@thomasshugar5636 Hah nice bait.
Victor's doing his impersonation of Rocco Prestia's "What is Hip?" sixteenth-note driving line. Sounds good.
with the thumb ...
uh.. really? Rocco is awesome; Victor is from a different planet.
The guitarist also nailed that solo...respect
that guitar solo was brutal
You eat candy like a child! Matt watson!!
The drum and bass lock here is untouchable 💪🏾💪🏾
Can we take a minute to shout out the drummer for switching up his groove by a beat and then switching it back around just in time for the walkdown at the end of every form? Crazy
whats his name? really smooth
Maybe the best fusion guitar solo Ive ever heard. They all kill it, Love these sessions
I agree the keyboard solo was in beast mode, and Vic on the vintage tone ... Go Vic!!! You all are do'in it. Thumbs up.
Victor on this jazz bass sounds phenomenal!
probably the most interesting take on watermelon man, especially effective on a gig I suppose - will grab the crowd for sure.
Very cool to see Victor playing Marcus' Bass!
This isn’t Marcus’s bass …. This is Marcus’s business deal ….
His fender will
Always be his bass
Thank you for confirming. Marcus TFL Furthermore.

man even victor Wooten is playing a sire, those basses are tearing up the market
Jamey aebersol
I have ONE!! And they give the Fenders a Run for Thier Money !!
Victor playing the Sire! Love it!
If it's enough for Victor Wooten, then it's more than enough for me!. I've just ordered a Sire P7 just before watching this video :-)

He slays the Sire V7!
Marcus TFL
WOW!! Incredible stuff..... couldn't believe there were ANY thumbs down on this one!! Guess they don't appreciate true musicians!
Kevin hanson the guitatist was my teacher, incredible player
the old version was amazing, this is freaky awesome.
Victor is the SHIT on anything he plays. 🤘
He can make a tampon string sound amazing
Hahaha
lol
Hysterical, and you are probably right...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Vic is killing it!!
this maybe the first (or second) time that I saw Vic play a Jazz bass!
Big Thumb up and down and up and down and up and ...The Victor always wins!
Around 6:00 you can catch James Lloyd with an "oh yeah!" face halfway through Victor's solo. 100% can relate to that expression.
A TERRIFIC Perform in all ways!!! Congrats and hat off to you all!!! Stunning!
Great sounds
Wooten is an alien bassist 🤩
instantly added to my favorites
Wow, Wooten + Sire V7!
Smooth keyboard note bends at 4:40 :)
Vic,finaly man...i love you for that...
Only clicked on this to see Victor playing a Jazz bass! I'm going outside to watch Haley's comet pass now😉🔭
Nice to see something good come out of reading pa
What they consider bad or average is exceptional for most listeners.👍👍
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Victor play anything other than a Fodera.. Is this Marcus Miller’s new line he’s playing?
yea! what is hip!
What is Hip!!!
Yes, it is Sire
Yeah those Sire Marcus Millers are the best basses for the money. I'm planning on getting one for Xmas this year.
While it certainly is cool to see Victor Wooten playing something other than a 10,000 dollar bass, I think something Adam Neely said has never been more pertinent:
"The man (VW) can make a tennis racket sound good."
This is seriously cool.......
James Lloyd what a man
Amazing!!!
What is this the man? How awesome!
Love reminds of tower of powers vibe.
And the Crowd. Goes. WILD!!!
5:41 When God shows you what Groove is
outstanding
I hope y'all caught the keys on that "I Thought It Was You" quote at 8:05 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I wonder if Marcus slipped Vic a couple g's like, "yo...vic... play one of my sires on that session u got comin up..." Well, it worked cuz I think I'm about to go ahead and pick up a 5 string🤔
CliffHuxtableSweater I got a sire v7 vintage and the feel the sounds u can get I’m surprised it’s that good for the price
Sire… nice basses… bought one and they are nice. Has it all and the plus is that they are light weight
Yes really Coooolll !!!
bautifully done!

I bet he has on studio recordings for other artists, but we’ll never know it’s him. Just a guess
Drummer kicks ass!
Ha! Such a nice groove! :-)
Hahaaa....Everyone's exhausted!!!!...Love it!

James Lloyd on keys "Pieces of a Dream"
Watermelon is Hip 🍉
Super estratégia de marketing ,Victor Wooten com Bass da Sire!
Medium low action makes sire basses sing!
Yeaaah... dat groove
Awesome...!
Double thumb and clean tone with no hair tie! (noise gate?)
nah it's just good technique.
Watermelon "What is hip ?" Man... Victor Wooten seems to have eaten Rocco Prestia ;) Fantastic !
I was wondering why nobody mentioned the reference to top
;) I always loved Victor Wooten, discovered 25 years ago with Bela Fleck and the Fleckstones with their amazing Beatles covers. Sometimes, he plays to much notes ;) That's not the case here
tracy Smith that is the most assinine uncalled for distasteful inappropriate bigoted comment I ever read good job Tracy smith
tracy Smith oh, and wrong too, white boy Rocco had everything to do wit dat.
tracy Smith ... stupidity, racism and ignorance are not the preserve of the "white male". Your comment is the perfect illustration. Have a good day ;)
Awesome
A classic
damn so tight
I want to hear vic's verdict with that sire.
Marcus TFL
YEAH!
There's some inspiration for ya
Buen ritmo. armonía.
I might need to get a Sire😳
Topzera demais!
He is proving that he can smoke any bassist in a pipe 😋😋😂😂
This is the product of what is hip and watermelon man, if they had a baby
Wow
oh yes!
What happened to victors fedora
The elbow master!
Is it the keyboard player?
Cats getting funky
Yup it’s the hands not the bass..
or bass maker
👍👍👌
BTW Marco Bass is a force to be regarded. Eg: Marco TFL
Sounds like TOP "What is Hip"...
Nice elbow work
and... whoozyfratz on guitar...
"What is Watermelon Hip"
5:42 vic
Victor plays Sire?
Apparently
He played the hell out of it. Got his $400 worth in this one song
He borrowed that bass from Bennie Sims, my friend from Reading PA who often records and plays live with Curtis Harmon and James Lloyd there and in the Philadelphia area.
Top
Niiiiiiice
Who’s the guitarist?
Kevin Hanson?
Chad Young yes it is
Mr. Moose
I'm sure I'll get flambeed for this....but Vic sounds better in this video on that Sire than any of the videos I've seen of him playing a his Fodera.....
mac flapalicious notttt
His sound as with any great musician comes from the soul and the hands ultimately.
I was thinkin just the opposite. He sounds the crappiest ever. Strings seem to be really low ...too low, so that no proper bass sound comes through.
vekku96 i thought the same. needs more tension
vekku96 i think it’s just his heavy handed slap technique . cause when he plays finger style it is fine. plus have in mind that a producer did most of this sound design.
I’m always amazed by his right hand technique .. using it like a pick that way.. I guess the finger got callous or callous become finger after long time lol 😂 try that with ur thumb.. I’m not kidding it’s really difficult and painful:)
onzkicg Ima bassist double thumbing stops hurting after doing it so much
IJ Hopkins I’m newbie bassist and it hurts! lol 😂 Seriously that’s encouraging to know- how long before it gets feels normal/ no pain? months to a year? I’ll keep trying.
IJ Hopkins Is it normal to see scratch marks on nail when double thumbing? Lol
Peanut You see scratch even on the pick 😂
Peanut yah
fiew. heavy.
nice rocco prestia quote
wow! victorxsire v7 wow! interesting!!
What bass is he playing?
Marcus Miller Sire V7
i can join the band and just play the muted ghost chords the whole time
Pensé que mi video estaba a 2x jaja
