Has anyone else heard of this Bass god? If you haven't you should definately check him out. Dare I say he's one of the best? Yes, I dare. His ability with his fingers is unlike anything I've seen bassists of this generation do. I recommend all bassists check out his "A Show of Hands" cd even if it be for the title track and "Classical Thump" which will be sure to please anyone who has picked up this instrument. For everyone else don't worry, most of the tracks are a mix of up beat funky tracks and slow moving melodic tracks that are done completely by one 4-stringed bass. He's a great musician and I recommend everyone to check out some of his stuff.

    I love Wooten and Bela Fleck and have been listening to them for a few years now. If anyone has not heard this guy then search for him on youtube.

    Victor Wooten is the best bassist of all time. Bela Fleck and The Flecktones played at my school last winter and they are coming back again this upcoming year. I will be sure not to miss it.

    Victor Wooten is so good. Love him with the Flecktones. I think its finally time for me to pick up some of his solo stuff.
