Bass Battle - Victor Wooten vs Anthony Flex Wellington

[iamcool632]

two great bass players on one stage

[bvonbaron]

I am reminded of Seinfield.....



[Ebvardh]

We win.

[stephenbasham85]

Wooten 1:22 shakes his head like...I didn't want to have to do this to you...but you keep bringing the heat...here goes the baddest bass riff ever in 2.9 seconds!!!

[etermal07g]

@stephenbasham85 I totally agree

[oneone1onezero0]

@stephenbasham85 +1.  Victor fucking murdered Anthony.

[gdevane]

Man these guys are having some serious fun!

[crunkinthis]

The black guy is better.

[gtaIVlord]

@crunkinthis ._. They're both black :P

[gtaIVlord]

@crunkinthis Oh I think I get it. It was sarcasm (I guess), wasnt it?

[prettyboy1970]

Remember in Ghostbusters when they said "Never cross the streams!!"

Well, I think these guys did just that!

[dntrulz]

SICK SICK!

[IIuneXpectedII]

these guys could play the shit outta the Seinfeld theme.....

[Rafaelsw1]

Anthony Flex Wellington rings too!  victor wooten more is better

[terrykumar]

fools are arguing which is better.. I'd rather sit and enjoy the music. Thumbs up? :P

[Citan1981]

D D D D D D D D D D D...

[prollynotatroll]

@Citan1981

I see what you did there.

[itachiseclara]

@Citan1981 I Also see what you did there....Scott would've whooped his has playing like this.

[DimyBass]

So much talent out there!

[JPastorius3]

The best thing about this is how much they both enjoy playing with each other.

[GearsOfhalo4]

Poor Anthony, I love his style and everything, but i mean come on; if your battling Wooten you got to know something like the 1:27 incident would happen. Mad props for sticking with Victa!

[AznKenshin]

Victor Wooten won at 1:26.

[Gigio619]

power!!!

[SkeithRedux]

0 people dislike this, sounds about right

[davesims5194]

Bassquake!!!!

[davesims5194]

Bassquake!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davesims5194]

Bassquake!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oneone1onezero0]

@ 1:29 Victor kills it.

[justapker]

@drbumstein its showing of right hand techniques like triplets u fucking retard. its about his ability to be the best at them

[drbumstein]

i like how victor doesn't want to get shown up by Anthony so he just pulls random crap out of his ass. as far as im concerned, Anthony takes it in this one. he actually plays something that sounds like music with actual notes, not just slap some noises on the bass like victor. now don't get me wrong folks, victor is amazing but, he is kinda sloppy a lot of the time. anywho, awesome video. they both are amazing bassists. 

[TolerancEJ]

Regi's playing at the end of the clip too.

[09bboyfreak]

wooten is beterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[justapker]

i can die now

[csuflasher]

@redhothellers I disagree with that one pal

[dirk47]

God damn I just wish he hadn't cacked on the lick @1:28, shit sounded so dope.

[NYgbomb71]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!

[diegokillua]

buena batalla

[diegokillua]

@redhothellers jajajajajajaa xDDD flea no sale ahi pero de seguro si me moriria por ver flea vs victor vs antony *-*

[teracite]

@redhothellers

[dano9801]

how does this video have less than 50,000 views?!?!?!? it should have like a million gazzillion!!!!! (and that goes for all the liked videos as well!)

[SlyMcdoogal]

Anthony wellington vs Victor Wooten......and the winner is everyone

[felipedominguez53]

1:28 FATALITY O_O

[ysfgrz]

bass SEX

[jschwalls]

Anthony is so much more musical sounding than vic....

[laneygator]

ONE! 2, 3

ONE! 2, 3, 4, 5

What a cool time/groove Vic set up for those bass solos. That song is amazing

[wawadbassist]

they're chatting there....with their bass.

[chimalk]

the bass machine

[Valerio960]

listen LA MAGIA DEL SAX by Minicillo

[terrykumar]

stop comparing people. It's just a musical conversation between these two great bass players.

[ubertasticmagic]

Wellington has some man boobs goin on there! You can see that it overlapps his bass :)

[dmkeys]

Vic's lick at 1:27 made me fall out of my chair!

[Andman02]

@dmkeys I was freaking out it was so crazy hahahaha

[leeble611]

are you kidding anthony is great but vic is the most innovative musician that playsfour strings

[ragucci1234]

wthell ho own? lollll insane

[sywannab]

vic does more things that anthony can't. but honestly anthony is better in slapping i think...

[MrEzpz]

vic won (1:27)

[RatchetGUN]

i GO FOR VIC... GOTTA LOVE THE VICTA XD DONT GET ME WRONG THEY ARE BOTH GREAT BUT VIC IS BETTER FOR ME... LETS JUST SAY i LOVE HIS PHILOSOPHY AND MUSICAL MIXTURE ^-^ SO YEAH FOR ME VICTA PWNS... JACO IS PROUD OF YOU VIC XD

[pdernier]

Honestly I think Felx solo is better than Vics' overall. More melody. However, Vic does the coolest riff at 1:28

[BiffaBacon]

Anthony holds his out there. top class

[fortunateson08890]

I think dear Vic was trying to get him off beat with all those pyrotechnics.

And who's on guitar?

[nycbassist76]

i could be wrong but i think that's victors bro...and both bassist tore that shit up hats off to both

[tsup77]

No, thats Anthony Wellington, but damn right they tore it up!

[nycbassist76]

i was talking about the guitarist

[tsup77]

O, my bad

[ChibiPinky]

umm... i think it's either JD or one of the wooten brothers O=

[schubbmaster]

regi wooten, victor's brother i think

[20AceofBass11]

Wellington is one of the most underrated bassists out there. He could go out on his own and make a name for himself.

But I love Victa too! So its a cool duet.

[Xioaxioa10]

@20AceofBass11 hey man hes sticking with vic till he beats him i think^^ respectfully of course. they are battling. there just such good friends it doesnt like there fighting ^^

[smeee93]

what song is this does anyone know

DHA 5IVE 5TRING 5YCKO

[JamesBannerBass]

"Cambo" from Victor's latest album "Palmystery"

[BIGxR3DxK1D]

Did u hear dat?.... dat wuz da sound of my mind blowin

[jmcnulty420six]

if this doesnt make you want to play bass i dont know what will...

[jimcarreyizdaman]

Ok... there is no denying that Vic is a NASTY monster, I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. But give it up for Anthony, brother is SMASHIN that solo!!!!

[wheelsoffire]

Brain. Melting. Out. Ears.

[erickthetwin]

wow.

[axturin]

yeeeeessssss...

[Childinfaith]

Vic for teh win!

[sibat17]

Victer at 1:24- 1:30 OMG what was That, Amazing...

[branflakes11]

I play Double Bass, and Guitar. Now I am gonna get a bass!

[SKBFMV]

I have 2 good electric guitars a great marshall amp, a drumkit, a bass, a piano, a keyboard, an organ, about 2 trumpets, an accordeon and maybe some instruments, i don't think of at the moment :D

[potatomasta]

about 2 trumpets?

[SKBFMV]

yeah I know where one trumpet is, but I'm not sure, where the second one is or if we still own it, or if my dad sold it once, been a while, since I last played^^

[Stuartbassmaster]

Thats a dream!

[vicwootenisgod]

i just had lyk seven sudden orgasms

[Nasute]

I am salivating all over myself.

[mykemyke5]

I love this clip.. its the shit!!

[adurgaram]

this is no bass battle,this is 2 good friends havin some fun

[facedspaced]

Yeah.. I don't think anyone in their right mind would challenge vic to a bass off.

[toofpick151]

I LOVE Anthony's thump tone. Its so beefy and heavy.

[Jayrome1107]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I knew how to play bass!!!! When a band has a tight bass player what more can you ask for!? and these two guys are showing the bass who's boss

[BigBroMike]

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!

[codia12]

that wasn't very nice of them!!! what am i supposed to do now!!! victa' makes me sick!!!

[joanllamas]

incredible!

[manuFUNKture]

Yo is that Reggie wooten on guitar?

[spiderman556]

no it seems like a 6 string Bass

[ka8911]

None other than!

[kingpin191]

yeah reggie makes an appearance at the very end on guitar

[markee2006]

man thats some kick ass playing

[KurtSandford]

1:24 - 1:30

That is all.

[bassquake1986]

that's my fav as well, i'm all about how he runs up high like that. but i also really dig 1:48 to 1:51

[KurtSandford]

That's left hand tap, thumbdown, thumbup on one note, it's really hard to do because it's nearly impossible on some basses.

I had a crack at the running high with the taps like he does, if you check out my funky thumb groove #2 you can see my take on it. Right at the end of the video. :)

[RAHMYULIS]

its less of a battle and more like a conversation. amazingly good. i am learning this language

[proude55]

Funking awsome
