How does Victor Wooten, on the DMB Live at Chicago, song #41. When he starts getting his little jam session, around 8 minutes in the song, he starts doing this really quick, smacking sound for several seconds. To me, it sounds like he's on crack, and is smacking those strings quick as hell, haha. It's amazing.

Well, I'm not exactly a bass player, but are you talking about his double-thumb staccato pluck technique? He goes down with his thumb, comes back up with his thumb, and then plucks with his index finger and then middle finger(maybe just the index on LIC?) on the same string. So by doing that he gets four notes with one motion. Check out Live At Bass Day '98(which is on DVD now btw) if you can. He goes through and explains a good bit of his technique.
Peace,
Patrick

Yeah, I was all staring doey eye'd when I saw him do that too. I've tried to recreate that on my bass, wish I had some video, I probably look like someone with down syndrom trying to play. Needless to say i'm nowhere close.
I dunno about you guys but personally I thought that was a little out of place in the solo. It was all good and melodic, and then it was just like he took a break and went "look what I can do, WEEEEE!"

Of course this is just an opinion. Please make your OWN decisions as to whether it is out of place or not. I have no comment on the matter as I have no frame of reference and I am totally ignorant of the subject and have to refrain from comment on the grounds that I have no idea what I would be talking about. I wouldn't want to come across as preachy.

I was looking through a "Bass Player" magazine, and there, on the bottom of one of the pages, an add. . . .was a 9 string bass. Yes folks, 9 string bass. Jeeze.

I have also witnessed 12 string bass. 12 string bass. Wouldn't that make it a 12 string GUITAR? Tom Peterson is who I saw playing a 12 string bass. He is pretty unbelieveable.

That was my first thought... but then I wondered where a smiley's genitals might be located... ah well... either way it'd put a big grin on his face...

But I think that if I had only one full leg, I would be less than enthusiastic about having to fight, which is what it seems that he must be about to do...

I just downloaded a Primus song, a bass solo for Les Claypool (is that his name? Someone correct me if I'm wrong) He's pretty damn awesome. I'm going to try and check out some of Primus's stuff. Any suggestions to songs?
