I have so many favorites. I also enjoy Jaco and Victor, but I’m also in awe of Stu Hamm with the stuff he does playing the bass as a lead. Victor was really good live when I saw him with Marcus Miller and Stanley Clarke on tour for that album they recorded together. That must have been a first, three well known bass players recording an album together. Pretty cool. Check out some of the DVDs of Victor…you can probably find a lot of that stuff on Youtube, but he’s indeed a genius. I have to admit that I’m not into the “thumping” stuff he does too much, using the bass to make percussion sounds, but that version of Amazing Grace he does is fantastic…a classic. What bass are you guys playing? My favorite so far is my Warwick Corvette and I play with my MK Traveler bass as a novelty…it’s just a cool little toy. I have a bunch of others, but my top 3 are the Warwick, MK Traveler, and a Fender Victor Bailey acoustic.
