    I remember meeting you at a clinic in Colo when that bass was brand new and the blond face cap was very light colored maple. You generously handed it to me and said "go on, play it" . Hands down the sweetest sounding bass i ever held. Vic, I hear around, You are still wonderful.

    The year is 2004. I’m at a guitar shop in St. Louis. Victor is doing a short demonstration for maybe 50 people. He walks out from the back room to grab his bass and start playing. And there, clear as day, you can see a giant hand print on his black turtle neck sweater of yellow cheetohs dust he had just been eating moments before. Absolute legend.

    What finesse. Few bassists play with such a melodic and harmonic teft as Victor Wooten does.

    I culled VW videos for a long time cuz all I saw were his solos videos that didn’t seem musical… just a lot of insane fretboard gymnastics. This video brought me back. Very sensitive gorgeous playing.

      He’s probably the best in the world. But to say he’s “too far” above everyone else is a stretch. At that elite level, there are some who are pretty darn close to him.

      Jay Lambert Please get over the “best in the world” nonsense. Music is not a sport. Victor is highly skilled and creative. “Best in the world” would put a mocking frown on his face.
