This brings me back to reality..... and on a 4 string so I guess you dont need a 8 string to sound kick ass.

Nice...very nice

Mr. Wooten amazes me with what he can do. I have seen a lot of his video clips on YouTube and I am always left impressed. Does he mostly play on a four? I've seen a few with 5, but it seems like it's mostly 4.

Holy merciful crap. I don't even know what to say about that. If I had that talent would I use it for good or evil? I wonder.

I have to say, I'm really glad that this video didnt just start off with him double thumping the crap out of his bass. It's actually tasteful! (at least up untill around 1:40). Seriously, it's impressive at first, but really has no place in most music.
(not a wooten bash, he's an amazing player, as this vid showcases nicely)

Yeah, from what I've seen & heard, the majority of his playing is done on a 4-string, but I he also does great work on a fretless 5.
But yeah, it's either fretted 4 string or a fretless 5 String for the most part.
As well as the 4 string tenor bass (tuned a 4th higher then standard).
