spencer.b Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Sad news , for me one of the heavyweights. Some of the so called bass virtuosos are just wiggling the fingers really fast but victor was the real deal Just listening to Db waltz from weather reports domino theory and kid logic from his first solo album, brilliant RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SisterAbdullahX Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Not totally unexpected but still very sad news. For me one of the finest bass players there's ever been. Nobody sounded like Victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Bailey was important to me. As a young rocker, I was already investigating fusion and some of the more exceptional players like Jaco and Jeff Berlin when I saw a video of Weather Report's Domino Theory tour. I was watching VB and noticed that he was moving around the neck a lot and there was one point where he played something low down and the jumped up to the top of the neck to play fill before going back to the low end. I vividly recall saying to the drummer friend I was watching the video with 'I need to know where the notes are so I can do that'. And so began my exploration of theory, reading etc. So, arguably, Bailey inspired me to learn. It doesn't seem much now but it was an epiphany for one of Cwmbran's leading exponents of HM bass.... Doom doom doom doom.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always struck me as such a nice bloke as well, very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
