Victor Wooten also plays a Sire V7 ...

[supergudule]

I was amazed hearing Victor Wooten playing the same very bass than mine. But rather better to be honest ... So I am sure now that the only thing I need is more practice, and not new gear .

 

[scuzzy]

Also rocking swr! Wonder if he is borrowing someone else's rig for this video?

I wish I could drum like that too...

Definitely not his bass or amp rig since he is a Fodera and Hartke endorser. I've seen a large part of Victor's bass collection in person....pretty much all Fodera basses and a couple of Alembic basses.

One of those Alembic basses is the famous Stanley Clark Alembic.

And Victor can play anything.

Yes! I got to try that bass! And he has an upright also owned by Stanley. He brought them all in one night at one of the Wooten Woods bass camps I attended.......which I highly recommend!

Great playing by Victor. I just saw the Victor Wooten Trio a couple of months back when he came through my area. I especially loved when played his fretless with a bow. Awesome night.

Was just about to start a thread on this! Such a prime example of what bass can do.

Did he borrow it from Marcus Miller?

 

[maxifunk]

master musicianship abounds in the this video hot damn they are grooving!

He could play a shoestring pulled over a tennis racket and still kick our #_&$#@es...

 

[bassdude51]

Yeah. And he has 4 arms too!

Vic used SWR when he started with the Flecktones.

Excellent assessment. New Year's resolution?

Even if they have an endorsement most of these guys won't have exclusive deals. They will own and play several makes.

I like VW, a lot, but in the context of this video he just seems to be over playing to me.

Practice is where the gold is, I need more myself.

Wow, never thought I would see Vic playing anything but the Fedora.

Victor plays more than Fodera’s though he’s certainly known for playing them. I found that out when I saw him with Dennis Chambers and Bob Franceschini at The Keswick in 2017. Cool that he’s playing a Sire.

Ummm, when it comes to buying gear... what's need got to do with it?!?

 

[el jeffe bass]
