The bass is very underestimated in my opinion. The things Victor can do with with a bass is truly astonishing. He knows what groove actually is. He is a pure genius

Victor has more soul man, he uses technique to make the best song possible, not to make the most technical song possible

Victor Wooten is probably the best bassist in the world. Some say it’s Jaco Pastorius but I like Wooten’s style better!
