That may well be true although Anthony Jackson can make a claim to that title too. That said, Bobby Vega has groove like very few I have ever heard. Me'Shell Ndegeocello may be his only peer, but he has a fire where she is cool.

Agreed! Bobby Vega has groove! He has great tone. He gets all the sound out of the bass! Love anything he does.

I was impressed at the intonation of that bass considering it has a 2 saddle bridge. Also fun to hear that kind of playing on such a holy grail vintage instrument.

Love Bobby. He could play a cigar box and make it sound good.
