In the Bass Extremes video (the full one they sell, which isn't necessarily the same as clips pirated and put on YouTube) after each song they give a breakdown of the piece, how they play it, and the techniques involved. In this case, if you are working on Victor's stuff, he gives a very clear explanation of his open hammer thumb technique and how he uses it in that line.

The transcription book also covers every note on the record, which is not identical to the live video but pretty close in most cases other than the solos.

Indeed. I have a bit of trouble though with his intonation on the chords and some of the faster lead lines when I listen to it now. But still nice. I saw that Aria bass Steve is playing for sale somewhere for 250 euro. I thought it was more expensive? if I didn't have a fretless 6 string already I would have bought it...

lol Yeah he gets a lot of flack online for his playing but, by all accounts I've read, he seems to be a great teacher. Those basses were pretty expensive in their day, I remember them being around $1000 USD or thereabouts which would be quite a bit more nowadays. I always wanted to try one.
