Yeah, Les can be quite sloppy. Victor is tight-as though. I was watching my Flecktones dvd last night, noticing that Vic is damn good a fretless.

come on... he shares the same birthday as you!
Here is a pic from last Wednesday's gig of Vic's with the Flecktones:
... the cat with the long hair is also a scary-good bassist and good friend of mine, Charlie Wooton.

Yeah....that must be how he gets the gigs with Mike Stern and Chick Corea's band. (As well as a host of others)

Sloppy or not...he's doing what all of us bass players wish that we could do...have is own Thread on TB 
(plus the ability to get props from every bass legend out there)
I've been a long time Victa fan...he helped find another dimension of my bass...I do some things better...and some not...but he got me doing it.
HECK...Look what he did for Fodera...$$$

I honestly have not looked around youtube and seen some of the great players and Victor is somewhat new to me, heard the name etc, but he gets high marks in most every area.
He has fun playing the bass.
He actually helps folks and teaches them new stuff also.
Critics seldom ever do
It's art and that means it's pretty highly subjective, but if it sounds good, it is good
But I'm grateful for the thread and the forum, it's opened me up to many new bassist and methods. I doubt I'll have another dry spell again
Just watch a few videos and then I have to go practice for a year 
I'd be interested in seeing Victor's Fretless work, I love fretless and just go me a tasty Warwick Thumb 5 string. I'm going to epoxy the fretboard ala Jaco. Man, I got so much practicing and work to do.

Not to go off-topic per se or to compare wooten i thought he was great...until i heard the beast known as marcus miller, i mean don't get me wrong vic's nice but i agree his tone and slap-happery aren't for me all the time

You must be kidding!
Agreed.
Check out one or ANY of his solo albums (much less his Flecktones work) to be truly converted.
This guy is a nincompoop deluxe! Victor can and does play bass in styles all over the spectrum. His double/triple slap/pop stuff is a small taste of his universe of bass knowledge.
The above-poster's ignorance doesn't change that...
