I go there to see Dave, see this banjo band come out to open, and thought: "Ugh... can we get on with the real show!" Then Vic proceeds to blow my mind for 45 minutes and comes back out to play #41 with DMB! Wild stuff!

Thank you Scott and Ian for your constant lessons and for bringing new groovy basslines to my ears that I have never even known about before. I credit you (or blame you) for giving me the idea of pulling the frets from my Jazz neck like Jaco and installing a whammy bar on my bass like Victor. Better yet, I will build my own bass and install a fretless neck with fret position markers and look up a whammy bar to install on it as well. Be blessed, sirs!

I’m gonna agree with Scott on Vic’s sound. This was definitely the top of it. I had this video in the late 90s, and I pretty much went for a hybrid slap sound between him and Marcus. One of the best slap tones ever. It’s pretty much perfect.

Hello Twins! The sound of you two playing together is like a super-chorus pedal. And then when you go in different directions - wow! It does make me think that (if no-one's done it yet) that a chorus pedal with an ability to adjust the tone of the chorus line would be great. It reminds me that I thought of something like this before - putting the two outs of a chorus pedal through quite different amps. Does anyone do this?

Amazing, great video guys. I concur, his tone back then was the best. I have the same VHS from back in the day. As always Victor's sound, feel and articulation is untouchable. You can play note by note the same thing but it won't sound as good, not even close. Same with all the greats, go check some pianist play transcriptions of Chick Corea, it looses half of the "power", same thing here is HOW you play more than WHAT you play!

Okay, here I am again commenting... you guys are bringing back all my early bass influences! Back in the day (like six years after this video was released), the Wooten Brothers played live every Wednesday night at a little bar in Nashville called 3rd and Lindsley... for a $4 cover!!! We went there every Wednesday for about three years... Victor almost never made it, because he was big time (Bela Fleck, solo career, etc), but Regi and Rudi were always there. Joe was there if he wasn't on the road with Steve Miller. And, almost as infrequently as Vic, Roy (Future Man) would show up and sit in on kit! Other monster bassists like John Billings, Keith Horne, Paul Chapman were always playing with them, and they'd do stuff just like this video along with 70's funk staples (Brick House, Skin Tight, Mister Magic, etc) at double the BPM and then solo over those tunes! Also, thump off's every Wednesday - Regi vs. whatever bassist was on that night! Wild stuff... this brings back memories. I, too, had this VHS! 😎

Nowadays he's using the newer Fodera basses and Hartke amps which, as much as I love Hartke, just aren't in the same ballpark tone-wise like he had back in the 90's.

Ian needs credit for being the most positive musician I have ever seen. He not only slaps the bass, he slaps anything because excitement !. Come closer Scott, slap !. I think the bass is worth learning here because this song funks and if you can do it that rocks. Ian has the actual technique for Wooten and that's like really good slap technique, that has a big impact for him right there. I wish I could do that, would be very useful for slapping, there's a good thing you can learn to level up instantly. Victor cover band, okay sure let's go !. I have still never seen a Stanley Clarke cover band !. There's still plenty of good tricks you can learn from guys like this, for sure we all can. But forever when I see someone do this trick, I will think Victor Wooten, it does not matter if it's Charles or like Ian or Derrick or whoever it is. It's the same if it's a total Larry technique, or Flea or whoever it is, Claypool. I guess that means I'm just old, probably deaf and jealous, oh well !. I try to be careful about what I copy from other people, subconsciously I guess. I still look at finger tapping as being a Eddie Van Halen thing, If I am being honest, even though he wouldn't take credit. So every time I see this, guess who I think of ?. Now, there's literally thousands of guitarists and even bassists who sound like Eddie Van Halen, to me. I still like appreciate the music, but I wonder if they know who they sound like or what. I'm not sure how far you can go with something like that, some can pull it off but it lacks the fundamentals for bass. Metal based guitar all sounds like Eddie Van Halen to me after a while, caused me to look into other kinds of music for a while because some of this is kind of one dimensional really, if all you do is tapping and shredding.. I still enjoy some heavy music every now and then, I'd rather be grooving though, like Ray Charles.
