Conan Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 OK, it's a bit of a showcase, but just watch and listen to how many different tones he gets and how many techniques he uses in this short clip...

Muzz Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Love Bobby Vega - I was originally drawn to him because of his pick technique, but as you say, he's got the lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Great vid, thanks for posting the link as I hadn't come across it before. Bobby Vega is a unique player with a great groove, not many people could replace Rocco Prestia, using pick style no less, but BV did, admirably. I've not heard of the guitar player in that clip (very tasteful though he seems) but I remember Prarie Prince from his time in The Tubes, what a difference in styles from then to that video; a very underrated drummer.

ezbass Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 A bit more BV for you all, it's a bit disjointed in places (it's a Bass Player Live event) but some lovely grooves http://youtu.be/Ls8S-FZgtU0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
