Doug Wimbish & Victor Wooten Bass Duet Live at NAMM 2015 

I love how victor is just vibing in the beginning of the video. It's cool seeing two completely different sounding bassists feed off each other's energy

I'm sorry...but those folks who say " Doug is showing off / can't play / Victor is playing circles around him / NAMM is only for top notch players " etc - clearly have NO IDEA what's going on here. Both are amazing artists who just use different ways to express themselves. Doug uses sound ( or effects ) as his palette , Vic uses more technique as his ; both being tasteful and musical in the process. If you think NAMM is just for the super chops / musical elite - then you're kinda missing the point of music itself , I think. Just a thought.

Two wonderful talents clearly enjoying making music together. This is what playing is all about.

My 2 of my fav bass players jamming together, friggin awesome.

I couldn't stop smiling the entire video. Absolutely inspiring.

WOW!!! I have never heard the mellow and melodic side of Doug Wimbish!!!! Excuse my ignorance! Amazing!!!

I want to see Doug Jam with Thundercat like this. Would be Hella cool.... FACTS

This is the only video from NAMM I was searching for

Two masters at work making some incredible improv music in real time. Just relax and admire the beauty.

That was really great!!

Two extremely expressive players talking- this was awesome- thanks for the share!

Always a pleasure to see Doug play, Victor good diet dude lookin trim dude!

Amazing! - Great players always get great tone - From the base groove that Doug lays down - Great playing, Great groove and tone - Trifecta!!

The clarity of those amps! I think anyone who says that Behringer/Bugera don't make good amps just cannot get past the name badge. Listen with your ears, not your eyes.

OMG, this was awesome, two great bass players just playing their asses off !

That is what I called melodic!!!

So so good... Two of my all time favorites!

Doug sets the atmosphere, Vic simply can’t miss.. what a duet! Honestly, crazy!

wow absolutely beautiful

Beautiful duet!!! Legends of bass guitar!!!!

these two are meant to jam

2 GIANTS!!!!

Outstanding!

Wow that was beautiful

I am going to play this jam anytime I smoke weed again.

Was looking for a good demo of the Bugera bass setup, this is all I needed, sounds great. Thanks.

awsome bass play !!

So much emotion expressed in the way the lead playing weaves in and out of that haunting melody he started with.

I LOVE THIS MUSIC !!!!

Beautiful. Unique.

INCREDIBLE!!!

Awesome players !!

too sweet ! not useless frills , really good vibe

arrr yeah boyee! thats wat im talkin about my brutha'z

REALLY liking the way that Bugera rig looks, the amp head looks like a nice Hifi stereo amplifier! And Turbosound loaded cabinets, can't go wrong with that... I'm gonna try out that rig when i get the chance!

Absolutely wonderful 🔥🔥🔥💯👍🏽😎

Sounds like Spanish guitar when Doug wimbish plays

that moment someone 'steels' victor wooten the show xD never thougt that this day was coming

one o de koolest bass duo i have heard

6:10 THE LICK

Magick!

Music!

Victor wooten heard the tone at the beginning and said Ooo wow.....I think he might switch from Hartke ....lol

how can anyone dislike this.

In the very beginning, what effects is Doug using? I've never heard that kind of reverb and delay before.

muinto bommmmmmmmmmmmmm demais

they really beat that thing to the ground...

I’ve got those bass cabs they are killer

I was reading the comments an I can't believe all the name calling. we all have a right to say what we feel without the abuse for doing so. both are great bassist no doubt. 1 question . why does Doug need 20+ pedals??

are both using the bugera veyrons? the m or t models? i really loved the doug's sound in this video

Good best

Mann that was ear food!

Vic didn't play circles around him

Awesome...pass the joint! : )

What's that thing that Doug's using at 5:26?

Eric McFadden in the front!

Well done Doug

omg.....

wow

Víctor wooten 👑 is GOD ☀️☯️

12 year old Brandon Niederauer soaking it all in sitting in the corner at stage right 2:00 Eric McFadden too hanging in front

What are the names of the pedals DW was using? Especially that treble tone distorted sound. Does anyone know?

which is this style music ? ( jazz smoth of another style )

Are those 2 amp heads stacked on the Bugera amp or effects processors? What models are they?

O_O

Pepe Bao Eso si que es un bajista.

SWEEEEEET.......psk

How do you get that backwards delay thing Doug has going?

One freak one genius.

Neil Patrick Harris behind them?

Any info on a release date for the Bugera amps?

:D

What kind of effects were they using

were they using the x air series? or the x32?

Some nasty distortion there...uggg

What kind of bass is Wimbish playing?

does anyone know the chord progression?

Does this have a name like is it a song

what's the name of that song?

all love for the bass playing geniuses here. wooten shows his dissonant self, and his weird timing, which to my soul makes wimbish the better overall player. it's almost not close to me. wooten is on the wrong instrument. some of my best boys, best bass players i know, swear by wooten but i just don't hear it. he plays the wrong notes enough that it doesn't cover for his chops IMO

Uh, they aren't influenced by Stanley Clarke...much. LOL! I love it...

Victor Wooten's surprinsingly impressive melodic playing totally ruined by Wimbish's ridiculous Digitech Whammy nonsense. The former should stop what he normally does, and the latter should never do what he did on this video again.

Let's see nikki sixx do this lol✌rock & roll filthy rich bassist.

All was good but, that bass sounds like a guitar WTF? a little bit is ok but all time? nah

Easily the two best bass players alive.

Am I the only one who thought this was kinda just.. meh ?

Satriani is better:)

These guys don't sound like bassplayers. Seems to me they are guitarplayers with the wrong instrument..

Amazing, isn't it? For all the effects, tricks, tones and contorted facial expressions Doug used, Victor used one tone, didn't act like a show-off, and still played circles around him. Great players don't need a bunch of bells and whistles to get the job done.

This is the same thing Doug does...always. He's been playing for 10,000 years, but he's only got this one whack ass jam. Jeez man

God Almighty - Doug Wimbish should learn how to play.

Dough is obviously an excellent musician but this kind of gig is for real top notch players, technically and artistically. Put him with Mr. Wooten is not a good fit and people should know how to say no to some situations. Anyway, Victor is still the boss and was humble and gentle enough to include him while jamming.

Holy shit!...damn!...(expletives-expletives)! That was fantastic!!
