chris_b Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Bobby Vega just doesn't get enough column inches. Why isn't this guy a super star? He deserves so much more. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpnIl2WpR1U[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allighatt0r Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The man is amazing. I can't sit still listening to him play. Such a fantastic tone and technique, I wish I could use a pick like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Bobby indeed is the man. As already stated, he's got the tone, the technique and such feel. Fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Really wanted to buy his DVD for a while and this thread was the reminder I needed but it's out of stock now! Bah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn't this guy a super star? He deserves so much more. [/quote] That's pretty much my ideal and would suit me just fine - fantastic player, played with loads of legends, played on legendary records, renowned within the industry yet almost unknown by the vast majority of the listening public.

AndyTravis Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 He's ace - EMG use him to demo their pickups so their website is full of him playing. Wasted many hours watching him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Great player.... still I wouldn't be able to play with an amp with that sort of hum, even it that's how it supposed to be. I would prefer something a bit more quiet which wouldn' t distract me from my playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Me too. I think this was just a nostalgia trip because I've seen him using Glockenklang in other videos. Even without the hum I was never a fan of Acoustic amps. How could they have been designed by 2 of the best amp designers, Russ Allee (AMP and Thunderfunk) and Steve Rabe (SWR)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I remember Acoustic amps from when I very first started playing, and they had a very "scratchy " treble and a hard and honky midrange, from what I remember. I would still have loved one back then, though. Bobby Vega is a unique talent, and it's always great to hear him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I like the fact he plays with a pick a lot, then obviously can pull out the other techniques. Unique pick style...sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1390577332' post='2347143'] It's all there isn't it? [/quote] Yep. He's got the lot. In spades. Seems a really nice guy too. There aren't many bass players that have total mastery of their instrument, but [b][i]he[/i][/b] does. Makes you sick, doesn't it?
