I have heard it said by MANY wise guitarist ..." There are Bass Players I.E. ME.... And there are MANY FRUSTRATED guitarist I.E. YOU...... You just show your frustration better than most.... Opinions are like assholes EVERYONE has one...Yours just stinks.....
@feralcat61:Good day to you, Sir! You obviously feel that your attempt at wittism is so cutting. If I am such a "frustrated guitarist" why am I not trying to play chords and rhythm instead of a BASSLINE. And, to use your own logic, or lack thereof, against you, all assholes stink; you just stink much more than most.
I ALWAYS wonder why anyone would take a beautiful instrument such as the 4 string bass and add 2 more strings... As far as the blues go they have been paying my bills for 30 years because you see that is ALL I DO... As far as the name calling at least you are right.... I AM AN ASSHOLE.... Learn to take criticism or get out of music because I do not know any producers who would work with anyone whose cap locks are on ALL the time.....Happy picking !!!..... PS.. I never said you were bad ........
@feralcat61 : Though I did not mention it in the nterview, if you check your musical instrument history, there was a time, ( 15th. or 16th. century) when the upright or doublebass had 6 strings. No, backtracker, you never said I was bad, you just callled me an idiot and said I can't play 4 strings. There is a difference between being critical and masking your jealousy behind insults. I stand by what I said: I'll smoke you on 4, 5 or 6 strings.
@feralcat61 : ALSO, I JUST LISTENED TO WHAT YOU DO. SUCK MY BALLS WITH THAT BLUES SHIT. I'LL PLAY RINGS AROUND YOU ON 4, 5 AND6 STRINGS AND SMOKE YOU LIKE A JOINT. CRITICISM IS ONE THING; BEING A NAME CALLING ASSHOLE JUST CALLS ATTENTION TO THE SMALLNESS OF YOUR MIND AND CONFIDENCE LEVEL, OR LACK THEREOF. DON'T START NONE, WON'T BE NONE!!!
@ all the above..... I thought that this comment section was set up as critique of the artist on deck. Instead it has becomes this war of words between bloggers. Each artist is good at what they do on their prospective instruments; whether it's a 4, 5 , 0r 6 string bass. Lets all play these instruments to the level of our giftings and try really hard not to digress.
@bassplayajy :Very well said, Brother, but unfortunately assholes will always be assholes. I try to keep up with the comments and answer serious questions to the best of my ability, but there is always going to be that one person goggling every little point to try to prove me wrong or the others who say 6 string bass is for wannabe guitar players or whatever such nonsense. I just remain glad I'm not so ignorant and people like you prove that not everybody else is so ingnorant. Peace.
@G0IFI : Somebody else suggested the same thing. Bucket Larry and I go back a few years. He used to always bum rush my spot where I was playing at. He's done this to a lot of musicians over the years and brought a lot of heat and disfavor on himself. He's cooled out over about the last year or so, but I would never want to work with him.
I don't care what anyone says, Larry Wilson is an inspiration to everyone. Isn't music supposed to be fun? All these I'm better, he's better douchebags just dumb down the mentality of all musicians. Larry is smiling,laughing and having a blast. That's the bass player I want to be.
God bless you, NightmareMichigan. Someone that really digs the whole point of what I do. While it does pay the bills and put clothes on my kid's back, I still try to enjoy it and have fun. Keep playing and always remember: all assholes make noise, but it's all just wind!
Thanks for the love, DangerDan. Next time you're going to be in New York drop me a note and we can jam. As for Grant117, I don't know if he's complimenting me or slamming me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
When i meant 99% of big bassists i meant professional bassists like Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Jaco Pastorious, Alex Webster, John Myung, Or Geddy Lee to name a few rape this guy... No doubt hes better than all the mainstream radio band bassists (with the exception of flea i guess) but when compared to big names in the bass world hes nothing.
haha awesome i just got my first six string. and yeah its alot of fun. i love what you do man. everything you do is for love of music. you dont want the glory you dont want nothing but to play your music. your a real musician and i admire all that you do.
Are you my foster brother, Lester? I miss you, dude. Send me some contact info so we can hook up. I spoke to Gavin recently and we mentioned you. Are you still into the comedy?
This is inspiring... playing the streets look like fun.... but i'm tired of seeing people saying "Victor Wooten is God" and " oh man check out Victor Wooten!!"
EVERYONE KNOWS BY NOW!!!! VICTOR WOOTEN IS GREAT! WOW!!!!
Let it go. Much Respect to Victor and All the Bassists on this lovely planet. Especially this man... playing for 30 years plus and literally plays for a living. kudos man.
This is very inspiring.. playing the streets look like fun....
also... im tired of people always saying " check out Victor Wooten" or " Victor Wooten is God" blah blah blah.... man EVERYONE knows about Vic.. he's fuckin' slammin', that's granted.. but c'mon theres shitloads of bassists in this lovely planet.... not just Vic. much respect to all of them and this is gnarly.
You should check out the video of me playing "Voodoo Child." I've met Victor Wooten and he is amazing and he likes my playing. We are two totally different styles. I do some things that many people have told me sound like him. I'm not trying to compare myself to him but I am saying that I feel I'm at the level where it's not so much whose better, but who do YOU like more. But thanks for considering me good.
What's Good? Larry is so good he can blast over the New York City subway! If there is a nuclear bomb blast, he and Raycurt would be heard over it. God is listening.
