I like Vic. and I'm not worthy to stand int he kids shadow when it
comes to playing and technical skills. Of course, I don't live for the
bass 24 hr.s a day like he does either.

But if I may be his critic, One thing about Vic, that really bothers
me is that when he gets into one of his slap happy modes he will then
concentrate on speed rather than tonal deffinition. At that point it
all sounds like mush to me, but the crowd is already wound and
enjoying it.

Now when he does his version of amazing Grace? His work with different
tuning and harmonics is fabulous. A pleasure to watch and listen to.

that said, here's two of the many of my favorite players Jeff Berlin

Wooten has as much soul as a slice of wonder bread. He's all flash, but not
very musical.

Ron Carter, on the other hand, is a god.

Well, I thought it was cool, but then I am easily amused

And as to cool, remember what the great David Lee Roth said. "It's not
weather you win or lose that counts, it's how cool you looked while
you played the game."

Oh, I think his vids are cool too, and I'm glad you posted them.

Wooten had a deffinate following. I've seen him play with Bella Fleck
and the Flecktones a couple times. The guy is great. Probbly one of
the greatest Upright bassists of the last century, Ray Brown did a
stage trio with Edgar Meyer and Vic who was then just barely 19.
Later, in an interview, Ray said that Vic was one of the most
"dedicated players that will make a name for himself on the electric
bass", or something like that.

I have it on a VCR tape of the Lonsome Pine Special program I racked
off PBS several years ago.

Somebody shaved off a clip from it and posted it. Here he is doing a
duet with Edgar Meyer. This IS cool.

Actually, David said "whether". Not weather.
