who has heard of him? i seen him play live many a times to say he is a genious, is an understatement,, i honestly think he is the best bass guitarist alive
hey les claypool is incredible,, he definetly has a place of importance in the music timeline ,, but fact victor is beyond les,, and i am not saying this to talk shit i love them both
sorry but the best is Bill Dickens.. and Wooten would probably tell you the same thing.. he flies on a 8 string www.billthebuddhadickens.com
Jaco owns them all. But Victor Wooten comes pretty close. So does Les Claypool. But Jaco is the greatest, bar none. The Jimi of bass.
i never heard of bill dickens but i will definetly give him a listen as to who mentioned jaco., i LOVE jaco pastorius's playing, i read that book on his life a few times, first song i heard from him was 'donna lee' ,,, amazing stuff!!!!!
