Nothing more pathetic than grown bass players guessing about drops of sweat on an instrument.

Here is professor Wooten playing a monster solo and breaking a G string. He lost about a bar before bringing the grove back, bought himself some time to think, and then continued to rock his face off.
This man does things that I'm not even able to dream about.
I know those guys all have the ultimate respect for each other, but did you notice Stanley Clarke looks like a proud papa through most of the video, and Marcus looks like an annoyed brother, forced to go to his brothers recital?
:rofl:

I had to take several looks. It would be pretty hard to crack the fingerboard like that without cracking the neck. Definitely sweat.
I was also entertained by the look on MM's face.

I'd say since it went out of tune, it's a broken neck.
Hey you know who would know for sure? Fodera.

Maybe I missed it... But did anybody mention that this is actually a "shred" video? It definitely looks & sounds like one. At least I hope that this is totally NOT Victor playing...
Neat solo. Was nice to see him really reaching, clams and all, when he went into Night in Tunisia. Much respect. I like him a lot.
