Born 2B Mild Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Victor's playing at [url="http://www.hemnesjazz.no/"]http://www.hemnesjazz.no/[/url] tonight with no Fodera, thanks to an airline c*ck up. If there are any Norwegians with a nice bass, preferably a Fodera, can they come to Mr Wooten's rescue, pronto? Let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Or alternatively, another nice bass to put in his hands and see what happens with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think he'd have to cancel rather than be seen with another make of instrument, I bet his endorsement deal has serious T&Cs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a think, I know a few bass players in Oslo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born 2B Mild Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Right now he is looking at doing the gig on a pretty terrible P-Bass...he's not thrilled with the prospect! Could be interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say, I'd be pretty pissed if I'd paid to see him play and he wasn't on an instrument that he felt comfortable on. But then again, perhaps that would make it more interesting. I'm guessing whatever Vik plays, he could make it sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 This is now 10 pages long on Talkbass and they are all nutters posting. Posted just before, "Also, might I suggest posting this on basschat.co.uk? They might have some folks that are closer to Norway. I know TB is international but it surely couldn't hurt." Americans and geography, a dangerous combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I've just heared that Paul McKenna will be at the gig. "Ok Victor, when you wake up, this skanky P bass will become a beautiful Fodera Monarch and you will make it sing like no other. 3,2,1, you're back in the room".

I think he got one free once that had a fault or a problem with the neck, that was the black bass that he throws about at live shows. Otherwise, I think he can play what he wants. Afterall, he has played a few other basses live over the past few years; Compitos, Steinbergers etc etc. However, it is an insult to Victor to even suggest that he should play a show with some rubbish old Fender when he should be knocking out his tunes of top spec custom basses! It's be like going to watch Miki Biasion do a rally master class and seeing him driving round in a Kia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Academy Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I would guess he could still make a crap bass sound good. Hope he gets sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
