Isn't She Lovely - awesome Bass Solo

[BB3000S]

Hey guys,

Wasn't sure about where to post this, but as the guy in the video obviously has a complete mastery of feel, technique and tone I guess this could do. Have a look and enjoy, hope you like it - I'm still in awe about the musicality on display.

Really great playing, as you say very musical.

Fantastic! Really enjoyed it.

It's a lovely melody to transfer to the bass.

I'm only assuming he got the inspiration to do it from Victor?

Very nice playing - and very vocal like phrasing.
A nice listen that.

I'd go so far as to say his ideas are some of the nicest I've heard in bass soloing, I'm easily turned off by chops but this guy is so melodic that his improvisation takes nothing away from the beauty of the piece.

Looks nice, although I wouldnt want to do a solo on this tune on a gig without bass not being 'underneath' everything...

Thats what I love about Victor, he'll fluff a run and just go with it and just pull it back to being fantastic!
Fantastic OP vid too, the guy can seriously play, clearly he wouldn't be pulling this out on a gig, but the musical facility he has is inspiring

I'm gonna kinda disagree ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-PuoZBUqZY ... Bass solo at 2.25.

The original video has some really neat soloing over this song. Brilliant!
