Pete Academy Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This guy is probably one if the most unsung bassists around. This short demo of his custom-built archtop bass demonstrates his mastery. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BpmY9MKPk8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BpmY9MKPk8[/url] Super melodic and a great groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I actually played a fretless Bobby Vega Ribbecke at the NAMM show in 2009. In fact I kept going back to the Ribbecke booth to have another go. It's an unbelievably fabulous and deeply cool instrument, and I was seriously tempted to get my Visa card out despite the $7k price tag (not sure my mate Joe Veillette would have been too impressed though if I'd have bought it). Vega's a wonderful player too. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Bobby is the demo player on the MXR website - he plays some cool stuff on those videos too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwick_Official Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Bobby is a friend of mine, and an amazing player. He has so much rhythm and groove its unreal, and at the same time is the coolest, most down to earth guy....so humble. He can play anything...and his skills with a *gasp* pick are phenomenal! Here's pic of Bobby and his pick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] All his playing is great, but it's particularly when he uses a pick that he shows his sheer class. Amazing groove, accuracy and clarity. And funk!!

tonyf Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Been talking up Bobby Vega for a while. Gloriously fantastic player. Love his work with a pick but he's just as funky without. He played this. When he was only 16 or 17 apparently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xql52v-fGAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
