I think Victor Wooten is a genius on the bass, and he also seems like a wonderful and sweet person. That said, Marcus Miller seems to have the better feel for playing slower grooves, and playing slower is widely held to be more difficult. Obviously Victor can improvise a lovely rubatto as well as rapidly grab handfuls of sounds that no one else can, but when I compare the two players, I am reminded of another comparison, that between Jaco and Alphonso Johnson, which leads me to believe that Johnson had a MUCH better sense of groove than Jaco, but Jaco "played" the bass at a much higher level, or similarly, perhaps, to what has been said of Martin Amis, namely, that he writes a beautiful sentence, and then he writes another, and another, and so on, yet the whole does not seem to flow like "good writing." That is how Jaco sounds to me, and I'd rather be able to make music like Marcus Miller or Alphonso.

nice. it's fun getting a new instrument. it's a shot of inspiration I've found.
you must have bigger hands than i do. i like the p bass sound for motown, soul and rock but the neck just felt too thick for me. the sire has a jazz neck, so if i turn off the bridge pickup it's the best of both workds for me.
