LMAO. Nice bass playing! "What's up with the mullet?" Dude, this was obviously filmed back in like 1990 (or probably even earlier) when that sh*t was cool. Does he still play with Mr. G? These guys RULE! Kenny or Vail, if you read this, shoot me an email. .
Yeah.. I was 11 years old.. Breslin Center, MSU.. I saw the G play, but this guy caught my eye.. I was a bass lover from there out and put down my sax 3 years after seeing that.. Ruined my sax playing Kenny!
this guy rocks. Not only does he look like the Terminator's kid brother he can kick on the bass. The song reminded me a bit of John Patitucci's early stuff and towards the end it sounded like Casiopea or T-Square. I might have to listen to some Kenny G now just to hear Mr. Vail here.
why do you guys have to hate? open your eyes a little bit, kids. You think Kenny G you think faggot and a skin flute...whatever,(he's good too, but who can take him serious?) His bassist has some chops, and you haters probably don't have shit on this guy. He's just in the wrong band...
I can't believe anyone would critique the sound of an instrument on youtube?!?! The compression and distortion created by converting to the low- res format is obvious.
Ex-Factors are the best. The P-Factor is okay from what I've heard, but nothing like the Ex. I was fortunate enough to pick up a '91 customs shop ex-factor for just under a grand on eBay recently. And bet you probably could too because people sem to be selling right now. Only thing is, make sure the guy didn't change the circuit board or anything. the guy I bought mine from wired it like a Les Paul and it has been hell trying to get it fixed, but it is definetley a great sounding bass
Then wtf are you doing on this page, dinkweed? The kazoo players page is over on the left. Vail is brilliant and this bass tone the best. Didn't your momma tell you, if you got nothing nice to say... then shut your ignorant-ass pie hole.
I think Vail's an amzing bassist, but he needs to get with some better performers. I'm sorry but Kenny G. is horrible. If he wants to play with a good saxophonist like Eddie Davis aka Lockjaw. Or if he would've been alive back in the day it would've been amazing to see him with Charlie Parker. But if you want to see an even better bassist look up either Jaco Pastorius or Victor Wooten.
"I don't think Kenny really listens to what we're playing up there, to tell you the truth" - OUCH!! (It may be true, but he's the one signing your pay checks, dude!)

Ex-Factors are the best. The P-Factor is okay from what I've heard, but nothing like the Ex. I was fortunate enough to pick up a '91 customs shop ex-factor for just under a grand on eBay recently. And bet you probably could too because people sem to be selling right now. Only thing is, make sure the guy didn't change the circuit board or anything. the guy I bought mine from wired it like a Les Paul and it has been hell trying to get it fixed, but it is definetley a great sounding bass
