[BassAce47]

spectorkid31 its interesting you say that because i saw him a couple nights ago with his hartke set up and i thought it was way too deep in the low end...maybe the guy in the back with the sound board keeps screwing up victor's channel...

[lethbptl]

@BassAce47 ....COOL!!!

[spectorkid31]

I miss his Ampegs. The Hartkes sound great here, but when I saw him live, they were WAYY to bright. I saw him twice before with his Ampeg rig, and it was so warm and tasty

[lethbptl]

Dude.

You are way too freakin lucky.

Bet you get alot of requests of ''friends'' who use you to hook up with Victor? ;)

[lethbptl]

@Recanon ....Happy that Vic and others allow me into their worlds.....

[DudesWithBootsMusic]

this was no personal criticism. sorry. i saw him live a week ago here in germany. and there were always guys who interruptet him while he was soloing. i think thats made me too sensitive in this case ;).

[lethbptl]

@DudesWithBootsMusic ...Cool, on my way to hook up with him in Kansas City

[DudesWithBootsMusic]

this guy behind the camera ruined victors playing with his stupid cmts..

[lethbptl]

@DudesWithBootsMusic ....Well I guess I'm the stupid guy.......

[Riouken]

@lethbptl

Man, you didn't ruin anything! It's good to see people enjoying what Vic does.

[lethbptl]

@Riouken ...Thanks!!! I don't care about none of that. These interviews be impromptu and we just go at it......Vic & Marcus called me the other day, vic is going to do the intro for my website that's being created.....How bout that....lol

[andreking84]

mane that has to be a blessing,because i been a vic fan sence i was 16,im 25 now.even when he comes to dallas,tx some time i dont get a chance to see becase i

m truck driver always gone,i've allways wanted to meet vic,but my verves would be to bad to say any thing!but it's nice to know that he is a humble guy!

[lethbptl]

@andreking84 .........Vic is the man....

[rawfood777]

skills!

[lethbptl]

@rawfood777 ......YESSAH!!!

[andreking84]

hey james i got something to ask what was it like meeting victor wooten?

[lethbptl]

@andreking84 ...I been knowing Vic for about 6 or 7 years now but the very first time that I met him was crazy. His bass man Anthony Wellington invited me to a sound check here in St. Louis and Vic came and sat next to me and asked me my name and we started rapping, the friendship grew from there. Then whenever he was in St. Louis I would have a fish fry or something like that for him. All I can say is that he is very approachable and friendly to all....

[polishpirate123]

Are all of you guys just mad blazed?

[lethbptl]

@polishpirate123 ,,,,????????

[hungdoo91]

i know vic and he def does not ever ever smoke herb

[lethbptl]

@hungdoo91 .....I Know!!!

[chickenandababy]

at the end, james ross, your laugh is the bomb

[lethbptl]

Man!! that cat just amazes me.......

[JEVentrillon]

in all honestly, vic probably partakes in thc activities from time to time, part of being balanced is enjoying without overdoing it, sorta like tm stevens that guy smokes up, but he doesnt let it take over his life or anything

[lethbptl]

I disagree whole heartedly...........

[Romans10Verse9]

@JEVentrillon

Yeah dude I think Vic is genius enough to attain a natural high. He doesn't need artificial stuff.

[alfmarius]

Idk about the drug thing, but i highly doubt it.. And u know, music is like sex - u get a certain look on ur face when performing !

[lethbptl]

COOL!!!

[pathemus]

that first song was from show of hands

[lethbptl]

COOL!!!!

[mrfingers69]

you cant hold no groove

[lethbptl]

COOL!!!

[fraghunter67]

please only reply to this comment seriously, im not joking anyone.

Is victor high often?

i noticed this as i saw another youtube vid of victor looking really stoned, he seems so in this video

[lethbptl]

Well I can say without any doubt that Vic was not high on this occasion or any other that I have been with him over the past 6 years.......

[bassmajor]

hm I don't think he is... i talked with him in Aschaffenburg and he's a really balanced, spiritual, intelligetn and calm person and for that reason I don't think he uses drugs.

And if you're really into it, music gets you high like nothing else ;)

[lethbptl]

YEP!!!

[djfobtronics]

Nah not stoned, tired definitely. Victor must be giggin all the time. That would definitely make him look the way he did. Stoned, no way.

[lethbptl]

Gigging and always on a plane somewhere....

[FatTomy]

@djfobtronics

watch chick from corea :D

[codia12]

i think i just pee'd my pants!!

[lethbptl]

hahahaha

[n0br3ass]

Victor Wooten in the bass, is the same as Ronaldinho Gaúcho in the soccer, only that a little fatter.. hehe ^^

Great Victor Wooten!!!

[lethbptl]

Vic is the cat!!!!

[elterco9]

i love this guy,

i'm sure, Vic must be god

jaja

[lethbptl]

He is the cat......but god???

[elterco9]

yes, god

[lethbptl]

K...................

[hulhula22]

"hahahahah" "its easy....its easy!" ya when your pro, and you wrote the music i suppose it would be.....hahhaha

[lethbptl]

Hahahahaha

[MrTrajan69]

John Entwistle was voted, BASSIST OF THE MILLENIUM! enough said

[lethbptl]

COOL!!! all a matter of subjection.......

[bassmajor]

hm well i don't quite get why... yes he was a cool bass player but he wasn't that innovative except for emancipating the bass solo a bit more...

i think (and so do many other people) that jaco and victor were the most innovative popular bassists

[lethbptl]

I'm going with Vic...............

[arnbassbaritone]

who cares when people think of bass players they think of Victor, Jaco, Marcus, Stanley, Adam, and Jeff. Not whoever you are talking about

[lethbptl]

I'm a Vic fan but I take nothing away from

John Entwistle.............

[carabata64]

COMPRATE UNA GUITARRA GORDO TOPU

[lethbptl]

HUMMMM???

[JavieRegaladoBass]

para que una guitarra?, es mejor un bajo, pobre ignorante ¬¬ y NO critiques a Wooten que es 1 000 000 veces mejor que tu!

Carabata64 say:

"Buy a Guitar fuckig fat"

Carabata64 is a fucking retarde, Wooten is my GOD and the BASS is better than guitar (for me)

[lethbptl]

???????????

[montenegrorocha1]

caralho a melhor frase do vídeo e cara filmando a p..... da caixo num acredito nisso. ..

frase do albun soul circus

ai papai como é que faz isso

[lethbptl]

K!!!

[Rafescow]

@montenegrorocha1 comecinho de victa uhaiuhauia.. tambem fiquei muito puto, ele la tocando o melhor riff e o cara ta filmando a caixa!

[lethbptl]

?????????

[Rafescow]

@lethbptl sorry, I was answering the brazilian guy there :D

but translating:

In the end of the video he begins playing the best riff of the video, the intro to "Victa" and the camera guy is... what?! filming the amp!! damnit! haha

[lethbptl]

Cool...........Hey! I was the camera guy.....lol, we were filming that whole deal to show the Harke HyDrives........Vic just through that Victa riff in......

[avxdot]

2:30 to 2:34 oh my goodness!!

[lethbptl]

Aw Yeah................

[moises16motta]

o cara umilha.

[lethbptl]

?????

[bertito7777]

The best !!!

[lethbptl]

YESSAH!!!!

[BassDude50000]

does anyone know a good jazz finger-style EQ for a 7 band EQ?? thanks

[lethbptl]

Not I...............

[BassDude50000]

thanks for helping....

[lethbptl]

COOL!

[cappooify]

is easy is aesy...!!!  :(

[lethbptl]

yeah right....lol

[MrBrashnak]

boo... Vic's tone has suffered a major blow by going to Hartke. Too brittle. I wouldn't use Ampeg since they went to China, but he could have at least gone with Eden or Accugroove.

[lethbptl]

It's all relative......he likes what he likes and u like what u like........it's all good though!!!

[tomalyo]

should I buy this cab ? 4x10 ?

[lethbptl]

I don't know, should u?

[pastalavista]

I wish that guy would shut up, talking over that beautiful melody - I was getting into that!

[lethbptl]

I couldn't shut up!! It was impromptu for the Harke HyDrive that Vic now endorse..........Hell! I forgot the song........

[ejlarsonstratford]

Me & My Bass Guitar

[lethbptl]

Yep, Yep!!!!!

[chriskhalaf123]

man i wish i could take bass lessons from him i could learn so much from.. i wanna go to his bass camp some time.

[lethbptl]

Bass camp coming up soon!!!

[ilovethenewdaze]

You can't hold no groove if you ain't got no pocket!

[lethbptl]

Hahahha!!! Yep.........

[KurtSandford]

What's being with victor like? Your so lucky =/

I wish i met victor.

[lethbptl]

Vic is the coolest cat in the world. He is well grounded to the things of life. He is a devoted husband and father. He has no ego that I ever witnessed. Strong in his religious beliefs and loves all people. He tries to tell jokes and be witty and humorous. Very gracious and concerned about the well being of others and hust happens to be the best bass player in the world. God could not have given this musical gift to a better person.......Not lucky - BLESSED!

[nathanbossoh]

dat is sooo tru james ross very tru about victor.

[lethbptl]

YESSA!!!

[dpapaioannow]

he played bass from birth?oooh yeah i also heard....and i know how this sounds...but he can actually walk on water and heal the sick with his playing LOL WTF are you talking about man?the guy just studied and practised his ass off,,,he still does actually just a cool great dude on bass let's not get too crazy..shall we?LOL

[lethbptl]

He is number one in my book.........Jross

[yoelbenyehuda]

It is really funny when a great musician like Victor is creating art, there is always some clown that wants to hear something else... always interrupting the beauty...

[lethbptl]

This clown didn't wanna hear the beauty, just the funk!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol

[canvoodoo]

those cabs would look ace with the hellborg pre and amp on top of em.

[lethbptl]

Pass that along to Hartke!!!

[ejlarsonstratford]

what the song hes plays in between U CANT HOLD NO GROOVE and ME AND MY BASS GUITAR??

[lethbptl]

Nor Sure!!!

[LokiNTB]

Sounds a little bit like the the Vision

[lethbptl]

OK!!!

[Romans10Verse9]

Those Hartkes are freaking AMAZING!!! Vic's just getting a perfect tone from them. I LOVE the sound he's getting here.

[lethbptl]

Join the club.................lol

[Romans10Verse9]

Haha, I guess you're right. Are those things on the market? If so what kind are they?

[lethbptl]

Yep - HyDrives - 4-10's

[Romans10Verse9]

Thanks man.

[lethbptl]

It's all good!!!

[andyfen0]

What kind of camera do you use? I've had the hardest time trying to find a camera that picks up bass without getting distorted. James Ross, you gotta let me in on your secret!! lol

God Bless

[lethbptl]

This video was shot on a Sony H8 Digital Camera, since then i have moved up to the Canon HV30 HDV camera...........

[universalrenote]

Sick with it!

[lethbptl]

NICE!!!

[TBass]

We got a treat over here in chicago cuz an old friend of vic played harmonica at the concert. he jammed a couple songs with vic and jd and he left the crowd in awe!!! Never saw the harmoncia played like that! I have a vid i believe...i'll put it up soon

[lethbptl]

COOL!!!

[TBass]

Thats great you got to see them before and after the show JR!You got some great footage thanx for puttin it out for us fans. I got to see the bass clinic and the show here in chicago....the man is just so humble and lets you know everything he knows..."you just gotta jam alot and talk in the language of music", as he puts it. This guy is a living legend and doesnt even act like it! Gotta love Vic....and JD too... he's talented and funny!

[lethbptl]

I second that emotion dawg!!!

[diggy3746]

I just saw Wooten two nights ago in Boone, NC, and my that riff he plays in the beginning is one of my favorite sounds by him.

[lethbptl]

Vic is the man!!!

[dindglebeaver]

I´ll never be the same, after I listen the 20 minutes solo of the ying yang tour . tha´s pure magik that´s the real deal. thanks for the vid great talk there enjoy ur life

[lethbptl]

Cool!!! U 2.............

[ryegi]

Doc vic is truly the man of funk!! You happen ta know a good friend of mine named Alvin Quinn up there in St. Luis!

[lethbptl]

I agree with that and then some!! Vic can play any genre of music. Checkout Palmystery, vic delves into all manner of music. Jazz, Fusion, Country, Delta, Classical, Adriatic etc....

Alvin Q!!!Who is that?..SIKE!!! I love that cat. His jokes are not funny though...lol

[ryegi]

LOL!! Yeah vic came ta Oklahoma city and i got the chance to talk to him for 30 minutes after the show. He is by far the best in the world hands down!! I just wanted to wash the mans feet!!!!! He wouldn't let me! LOL! And alvin need ta give me some lesson to!

[lethbptl]

Dude!!! You ever peeped vic's feet....lol

Alvin needs to give me some lessons as well!!!

[joxxxhendrixxx]

victor=God

[lethbptl]

He's good but i don't think he can out play God!!!

[Kickbasser]

Vic is the man! So cool & groovy :) I saw him once in Athens, unforgatble moments of life! Thnx for posting this video ;)Peace!
