Best I've ever heard Miller played. WOW!!. Wooten, what planet are you from? You make the best bass players play great! Then you bring something new to "ears". And you stay humble, and you keep playing in a zone that's uncharted and so extremely "FUNKY". You're brothers are the same way. Reggie, no words.. Drummers that take the stage with you, OMG!!! Thanks so much for this set.😘
Personal preference.. but I've heard better solos from Marcus but he never disappoints and he's my all time fav ...both he and Vic have mastery on the bass and they make Pro's sound like intermediate to amateur bass players
there is something pure about bassplaying, its like 3 vulcanos, massive energy, but keeping it calm, and regulate the eruption, like riding 10 wild horses...
Miller's Super power has always been his phrasing to my ear. Some Bass players are quicker chop players than him but I get everything hes saying first listen with no unneeded words or phrases...
I like how Steve stayed out of the way. Tasteful chording here and there. Everyone knows he has chops as good as anyone but had no ego in his performance.
It's funny how Marcus was curious about Victor's pedal setup; Stanley Clark was doing that same octave transposition trick with Return to Forever over thirty years ago!
Not so gentlemen. Stanley wasn't using a pedal back then to achieve such pitch and tone. His Alembic bass guitar was a piccolo bass tuned a whole actave higher to achieve that pitch in tone naturally. Fast forward almost 30 years later we now have pedals that can mimic such sounds in pitch. Piccolo strings are designed to allow a bass to be tuned that high. Piccolo bass is one of the best inventions yet quite frankly. Beautiful in sound and tone.
I met Steve Bailey about 30 years ago at a gig I was doing in San Diego. We were of course in separate bands. I can’t forget what an EGOTISTICAL JERK he was that day!
the fender 77 jazz bass is what he's played for 40 plus years thats his instrumental voice ...he's always mentioned how alot of the great musicians he admired had their own personal instrumental..like Jaco, James Jameson, Stanley etc...so he wanted to do the same and the Sires are great but nothing comes close to his signature 77 jazz bass
I dunno... Sounds pretty good to me. With the computer to my Onyx Blackjack outboard sound card, to a Pioneer sx-3700 receiver, then to the trusty Cerwin Vega D-9's, sounds like an acceptable simulation.
The fact that you don´t like the music or the style it´s understandable and a pretty common factor in music. The fact that you feel the need to express it in such a simple and stupid way just makes you look like, well, stupid. Especially when it comes to one of the best bassists in the world.
