anyone else notice how countless amounts of people do nothing but compare wojtek to other accomplished bassists? this guy is like every bass critics punching bag and its sad really i think hes absolutely amazing
I think the reason why he is criticised by people so often is that you'll almost never see him doing anything different from slapping... and a bassist who is slapping all the time makes people think that his note choice etc. might not be advanced enough to actually i.e. play a well structured and solid solo over changes. This might not be true but thats how people see it.
Guess it depends on what you're looking for: A solo that repeats itself for at least 1 minute; or creative melodies that hit #1 on the UK and US charts (think Mark King and Level 42).

half time??? he's pushing the beat dumm white trash.That guy couldn't carry a song in a bucket..go to any Guitar Centre on saturday afternoon and you'll see the same kind of bozos...oh,by the way ,he has another clip when he raps...it's so square I thaught it was a sketch from SNL!!
timing is actually almost perfect, check out something like bass dance, the drums drop out quite a few times and he stays perfectly in time with fast licks. let's see ur playing?
If you were playing like him w/o this little rubber thing, you'd probably look for your thumb somwhere on the floor... He was talking about it in some interview...
BTW don't judge people by some rubber thing on their finger...
no way this guy in the same league as marcus miller let alone victor wooten. this guy should to listen to stu hamm to learn how to make music instead of just show off his technique.
He's Good, you can't take that away from him, I WOULD SAY. HE'S BETTER THAN MARCUS MILLER. BUT NOT VICTOR WOOTEN.... their no WAY!!! I played suff like this 18 yrs ago....
He´s very good but I still say he sounds like a bad Mark King (Level42). He`s got the same bass, the same thumb-protection. Whatever...he can shred a little. Cool!
Not in the same universe with souls like Vic though.

He's good but it's all a bit technical and not too musical. I prefer Marlowedk's playing style, groovy and melodic.

This is one of the prime dangers of slap bass.
Digressing into this slap happy bullshit!
Every bass player knows this. :)
Btw, not in the same league with Wooten at all.
Try making music while slapping.
Much harder to do. Louis Johnson also better than
Wojtek. So Solly.
