MikeyN 03-10-2009, 09:15 PM One of the best bass around. Been a fan since I first heard flecktones. Thanks for the post. Mike clydeselsor 03-10-2009, 09:18 PM One of the best bass around. Been a fan since I first heard flecktones. Mike Same here! Tapehead47 03-10-2009, 09:39 PM Insane! Saw him with the Flecktones and he blew the walls and roof off. And it was outside! Just amazing. Thanks!! ScramMan2 03-10-2009, 09:48 PM Fan of both Victor and his brother Futureman. Have seen the Flecktones a few times. Urizen 03-10-2009, 09:49 PM Saw him with Bela years back. Damn fine bassist. thedelihaus 03-10-2009, 09:57 PM Seen him at some really nice places here in boston. and funny- Saturday a bunch of us boston-area AKers got together. Wooten came up in topic, and later at still another friend's house, the host put on Bela Fleck. So, quite timely discussion. QUESTION- Wooten recently teamed up with at least two other bassists, and put out an album. Anyone know what it is? I'd like a copy... finnbow 03-10-2009, 10:07 PM I think Wooten is one of the best of the best bassists. I've seen him a number of times, only with the Flecktones, where he impressed me beyond measure. Unfortunately, I just don't find myself overly fond of the Flecktones on record (as opposed to live). They enthrall you live but somehow I don't find their recorded music to be particularly "listenable" in a home setting. Go figure. JonL 03-10-2009, 10:33 PM I saw him with Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller a few months ago at a great little theater on LI (check out imactheater.org). Outstanding show. As an aside to all you bass aficionados... anyone familiar with Randy Coven? Celt 03-10-2009, 11:48 PM Big fan and had the pleasure of meeting the man a few years back. He's played with a friend of mine several times over the years. bryblob 03-11-2009, 02:00 AM he's been an inspiration to me as a guitarist, and as an experimental amatuer bassist....he's also a very intellectual person if you get a chance to hear what he has to say about his view of music spkrparts 03-11-2009, 02:20 AM Hey Guys, Check out the man. The Budah himself, Mr. Billy Dickens. If anyone has a chance to ask Victor about Billy Dickens I'm sure he'll cite him as major influence and one of the reasons for picking up the bass in the first place. :>) Celt 03-11-2009, 09:43 AM Hey Guys, Check out the man.
