Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck)

“King of Slap”

“He didnt find the bass, the bass found him.”

“The Best Around”

“Everyone! Continue to worship Victor Wooten.

Claypool < Stu < Jaco < Wooten

Victor Wooten uses much more techniques than the others. To me, a good bass player is someone who understands a song.”

“yea victor wooten is an amazing bassist but i dont think mike dirn should be on here!! i mean jeesh...his basslines are so bad, it doesnt matter how compilcated they are just so long it keeps the song up, solid with the drums and sounds good....which he barley does,,he a terrible bassist”

“simply amazing. the god of slap bass and greteast bassist of all time”

“victor wooten issssssss the best, if technique point of view is considered”

“Wow Victor Wooten is better than anyone else here except Les Claypool”

“lol victor wooten would outplay any of these guys...he and geddy lee belong at the top”

“victor wooten is one of the most technical bassists of all time (along with jaco pastorius)

He OWNS THE BASS”

“he knows a lot of techniques,he is the best”

“it's absurd that he is not on top. vic wooten is more talented and skilled then anyone on this list. he is a freak of nature when it comes to the bass, and i mean that in the best way possible”

“wat is a matter with you people victor wooten should be in the top 2 at least hes freaking awesome”

“really awesome bassist you have to listen to some of his solos and stuff

“Victor Wooten uses so many different techinques then most bassists. Many people don't like his style, so they won't vote for him. But, you look at a bassist of his techinque and skill with a bass. He should be in the top 5 with Les and Cliff, Flea doesn't compare to any of these bassists.”

“Victor Wooten did something that no other bassist in history did. He has the ability to play the bass as fast and as proficient as a guitar. Burton and Flea have stuck to their guns as bassists and bassists only. Wooten made it more than a normal bass.”

“wooooooooooo victor wooten = fricken awesome
”

“people vote for people like flea and so on because there so well known and renowned and i would of a long time done the same but in truth you can really tell how much more victor wooten understands the bass in comparison to most others”

“Simply put, Wooten knows more about bass than anybody on this list. Nobody can even come close in what this man can do with a four-stringed instrument.”

“he,s a geat bassplayer”

“Vic is the Michael Jordan of the bass guitar!”

“he is the best in the world! stop!”

“theres nothing to debate about.hes the best bassist to ever grace this planet.”

“theres a reason victor wooten got best bass player for the last 2 years....thats why he should be number one”

“I just love his style and how he just makes it look so easy.”

“any one who doesn't have him as number one has obviously never seen him play. you tube him and than tell me that he isnt the greatest ever. the dude makes it look easy”

“victor wooten should be the #1 bassist, he is by far the best in the world.”

“Victor Wooten has unimaginable speed, accuracy and control. Not only was he the creator of the double thumb technique AND the open hammer pluck, he has been voted best bassist of the year by BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE five years in a row. He has mastered every technique on the bass flawlessly, best solo bassist ever for sure and in my view best bassist in the world at this point.”

“nobody comes even close to vic. i cant believe that people have voted for others above him. it only shows that they know nothing about bass players. this guy is the greatest ever”

“I'm not a great fan of his music but you must listen to his solo's. For me there is Stanley, Jaco and Victor at the top.”

“Dude, this list is pretty lame, the guy from avenged sevenfold should be at like 70th (he only has 3 good songs), Pete Wentz shouldn't be anywhere near this list, yet he's above Bootsy Collins, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Lemmy, and Geezer Butler. Pete Wentz's bass lines consist of three notes being picked, he sucks. I'm voting Wooten so we can get the Avenged Sevenfold guy off the list”
