A Jauqo-esque question???

Sign in to disble this ad
Would Victa Wooten be considered the 'Bruce Lee' of bassists?? Could he just kick every bassists, on the planets, butts if he wanted to?

In order to defend himself against Vic Wooten, Chuck Norris has to strap an Eden WTX260 to each fist.

I would have loved to see a Bruce Lee Vs. George Foreman fight, in this case i think the equivalent of George Foreman in Bassplayin´would be another George (George Porter Jr.).

It remains to be seen if sheer speed and lightining fast chops on a Hi-Fi Fodera would be a match for Rock Solid Thump on a P-Bass, i would depend on the context i think.

My money would be on George...either way.

Wooten did the rock solid thump thing very well (on a copy Beatle bass...a Univox?) back in '75.

Didn't Bob Babbitt do time as a pro wrestler or something? If so, my money is on Babbitt.

Because Vic can thump with the best of them. He just has all that and more, which is why he is one of the best around!
