I'm not saying he's "better" as such, but I much prefer Wooten. So damn funky, and I love it when he lets his Stanley Clarke influence show!

they are both equally good, victor has great slap technique, and jaco has great melodic flowing fretless bass lines...its comparing two different things...its like saying "what's better? walls or trees?"

Better is a pretty ambiguous term. If we're talking shear chops/technique, it's Wooten for sure. However, I voted for Jaco because I simply find him to be more musical.

in a thump off vic would win... but when you're at that level, then they're all as good as each other. its like comparing supercars, different people have diffeernt tastes, but they are all supercars.

I voted for Jaco if for no better reason than lineage. I'm sure he was/is one of Vic's heros too.

Can't vote. No such thing as better when you are talking about those two.

Pop in Portrait Of Tracy dude. IMO, without Jaco, Wooten wouldn't be who he was today. That's the only reason I'm voting on this.
