Didn't I hear a little purple haze, too?

[@rubensramos222]

Tks

[@markbass354]

Fender make a Bobby Vega signature bass

[@aussiecoastie72]

Mark B right !

[@gracef21]

Lol they already did, 1960 custom shop

[@kongandbasses8732]

Feels like every P or J Bass is a Bobby Vega Signature.

[@thescatman5029]

Already got a Road Worn....!

[@markbass354]

ARE YOU SCATMAN CROTHERS

[@andymelendez9757]

This man is the gold standard of funky feel good grooves

[@EvanBradleyEDB]

I had never heard of Bobby Vega before this video, but you can be damn sure I'm going to check out everything he's ever done now!

[@EvanBradleyEDB]

***** Very cool, thanks! I'll be sure to check that out.

[@GCWFilms]

When he goes into "Heartbreaker" at 2:21 it's totally mesmerizing. That's a song I used to play with my last band so I've played and heard it a million times, but when he plays it it's just magic...

[@Alex_Khouri]

This guy is so rad. So much funk, so many nuances, such buttery feel.... looking forward to music like this being cool again :)

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Alex Khouri It never quit being cool, but it's the future now and it still is, so congratulations! It's cool again, you got your wish!

[@colinstewart3699]

His music says it all

[@scottlapier4797]

Someone else mentioned on one of these vids, that Bobby Vega is like that cool uncle you have that buys your first album and has a small house but with a ton of guitars lying around in it. Probably also owns and older classic car that's somewhat beat up looking but still runs like a dream (much like his Jazz bass)

[@michaelb.42112]

THE best pick funk player.

[@jeffcunningham2905]

his playing just flows. so natural. street smart. incredible feel.

[@hiephoi058]

When i grow up i wanna be bobby vega

[@applesauceman3555]

wise choice!

[@charlie2namon]

I know how you feel.

[@charliehite3732]

Hell I am 51 years old and when I grow up I too want to be Bobby Vega!

[@JohnECocaine]

He is goofy and slightly annoying, but a terrific and unique player!

[@seanpyrtle5603]

Amen 🙏🏻

[@armybass1970]

I have watched this over a hundred times..... every time I even begin to to watch it I am totally captivated by Bobby's total love for the bass.... it is infectious!

[@beatlessteve1010]

THE BEST I EVER HEARD!!!!!!!!! I just spent the last few hours listening to videos titled "greatest bassist ever" or " The best bass player that ever lived" or other similar titles, and without a doubt , Bobby's sound and artistic ability, has got to be "The best I ever heard"..

[@Pudsy440]

Fantastic tone and feel.

[@brarunasunburn7794]

A truly Master,monster tone,mastery touch,amazing groove

[@fabibass]

Bobby is a real hero, one of the best bass players worldwide

[@WayneT3]

Man, BV rocks!! I've got a '64 Jazz that was handed down to me by some old school buds from years ago, and every time I watch this, I have to get it out and try to play along!! Bobby just kills it!!

[@billgoodwin6680]

Mr Vega is a true gem. I've been using a jazz and different set-ups with a Acoustic 150 head (I have a Gen 1 and a Gen 2) or a 370 head (beast!) with a 106 cab for years and personally, there's is nothing that compare's to a vintage Acoustic rig. Bless you Bobby.

[@rickleblanc8900]

Late comment : i was looking for videos about the legendary Acoustic 360 bass amp and i came across this one. I was somewhat familiar with Bobby Vega and knew he had a pretty storied career, so i was glad to see he was gonna demonstrate how the amp rig sounded with his Jazz bass. Man, when he started playing, i was smiling and just tripping on how smooth and cool he sounded. Total professional, humble and super-talented doesn't begin to describe. So glad i stumbled onto this video, amazing !

[@esongsore]

I want to have coffee with Bobby Vega NOW!!...lol

[@barrypwalkerable]

I could watch this video over and over....... Lost count of how many times so far!!!!!

[@slapitman]

My favourite player of all time. Such feel, his fingers and feet are connected and you just love his attitude.

[@basstrom88]

Wow, the tone he has when slapping the Hair riff is just...*hnggggg*. The sounds he gets out of that double-stacked-pot jazz bass are incredible.

[@jdubbjazzbass]

this is one of the best interviews iv'e whatched !! the first person to use a pick and it sounds good.and i would take every one of those basses!!!!

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

He's one of the most tasteful Bass players of all time! Incredible, groove taste and style. That Fender! 🔥 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@urizo]

love this guy , amazing playing ,very cool tecnic and style.

[@Stratocastermark]

Just got my second Jazz bass. Great to see this amazing character tearing it up. Great attitude and style!

[@52goldtop]

I come back monthly to watch this to get taken to school. Those uprake bends on top of that groove get me every time. One badass player, all the praise.

[@Bluestomiv]

I was lucky to meet Bobby Vega. He came to my college music performance class and did a lecture and jammed with everyone.

[@doblet664]

he's such a gentle giant. A 1 man show, absolute unit!

[@52goldtop]

Gawd Bobby Vega is the man. Love this guy’s vibe and tone. This auto played for me, but it’s like Goodfellas. Anytime he’s on the tube, you gotta watch it, no matter how many times you’ve watched it before... and you always see something new. Badass.

[@resistthisday]

Such a great vid - actually totally inspiring and makes me go want to play.

[@dmarker21]

Please post more of these videos with Bobby. He's great.

[@robertkroberjr.157]

WOW Just found this! What a life! Definitely a fan now! 😎✌️

[@j.ericsmith]

I how have I not heard of this guy? WTF? He grooves and gets to true musicality almost like Jaco only could. Insanely great playing.

[@rdxj]

5:09 was friggin' nuts! I've never seen a bass lick quite like that! Vega is the man.

[@morgonrast]

Man, that bass has been played to hell and still sounds so awesome!!

[@aussiecoastie72]

Such an amazing player !! And such a personality .

[@JohanSegeborn]

Amazing! That Kashmir riff at the end blew me away!

[@trevorgutierrez3038]

what a beast, such a colorful musical background, love to see musicians like this!

[@kristofkocsis9716]

I love how he makes everything alive :)

[@mrpookywooky66]

Maestro at work....fantastic vid.

[@clemensmeiss784]

Bobby Vega is the coolest guy ... and thank you for demonstrating the beauty and the lust to be a bassplayer.

[@philjoslin4109]

How can anyone give this a thumbs down? Bobby you rascal, always cool.

[@MrJLChagoyan]

[@fabiosantos8591]

Very nice you are really very good player.

[@faustinogarciabassplayer3174]

His tone!!!! Jeeeeezuuuuz!!!!!

[@slogosqwad9448]

He's so humble for how talented he is & a killer resume to go with it.

[@rojer9344]

Love the sound of Bobby's bass!!!

[@dwightsills8785]

You are a true joy, my brother. 👍🏾🙏🏾

[@solidranger]

Damn. That guy can play !

[@EmptyDomoKanti99]

i love the vibe and the ‘funk’ this guy has, absolutely blew me away i wanna try adding his pick technique to my arsenal, since i can’t really dig in with my fingers without destroying them

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

c.a.t.wallace By all means, use a pick if you want to, but if digging in with your fingers destroys them, keep trying. The ends of my fingers are like little battering rams, I almost couldn't hurt them on strings even if I tried.

[@thomashigginsmusic]

c.a.t.wallace play more and you won’t destroy your fingers

[@gorgecoach]

fabulous and conversational ...nicely done

[@basslover1345]

Wow. One of the best

[@mackymaca]

Daaayyyummm! Bobby's groove is the shiznit. Love the amp & Jazz bass, too!

[@rogerweller482]

I love the soound of his jazz bass!!!

[@tommylockett99]

Bobby is gotta a lot of funky soul! Groovin… Love

[@InsomniacRocker]

[@jason.martin]

Wow, just incredible

[@JosefWinter60]

His Picking Style is absolutely grooving. AWESOME !!!

[@danieu.m]

[@vincentm614]

I love these demo videos with this guy. Im not much of a pick guy but Vega just makes it sooo funky!

[@joemills4663]

Bobby's the f'n funky man & inspires me and many I'm sure it's OK to rip a pick on the bass...always inspiring listening to him groove

[@jsilence418]

Bobby plays, and what great sounds I hate to see the vid end. thanks for the post.

[@jerrywilson2586]

ONE OF THE BEST

[@chrisashby9307]

Awesome video Bobby! I also Love the hum of the amp idling. You have a wonderful job! God bless!

[@stevejay5503]

Bobby is a genius. I've been a finger player for years but now learning the picking style because of guys like Bobby Vega and Cody Wright.

[@davidchavez7114]

True Bass players will appreciate his unique bass skills. Amazing style.

[@scottlapier4363]

Bobby Vega is like your cool uncle that brings you to your first rock concert, buys your first guitar and let's your raid his record/CD collection. Awesome vid!

[@Tim.Pierce]

trying to pick up my jaw off the floor.. I've never heard bass this way before and i thought i heard it all til i hear this guy.. holey shit!!! hope he gives bass lessons! id pay to sit in his masterclass :-D

[@joejazz67]

gosh never heard of this guy going to have to check him out great youtube video thanks

[@dazxmedia]

I have always loved Bobby's groove

[@bassiclogic]

One of the best!

[@richmerrill3940]

I love hearing him play. Such a great player. Makes the pick so natural.

[@bobbyberetta4206]

Just like the bass he's playing Bobby just keeps getting better with age.

[@ikamaestro1982]

One of the most underrated and great musicians ever ! What agroove and sound ^__^

[@martinchococo]

love this man...

[@FreakazoidsAsteroids]

Absoutely loving this. Some of my favourite bass lines played on an AWESOME bass plugged into a KILLER amp. I've no idea what any of this has to do with EMG pickups, but thanks for making me smile a great big one. I'd love to know what gauge those strings are, by the way - they seem to bend like putty in your hands!

[@sharikmarius]

And that quick, I'm a new Bobby Vega fan!

[@aussiecoastie72]

sharikmarius right !!

[@tamirkeren6750]

WOW real music.

[@FrostByte_AC]

Why isn't there a Wikipedia for this guy?

[@blablablablasable]

so many relevant people that doesn't have a page in wikipedia, unfortunately...

[@FunkywimHD]

You can make one yourself, you know

[@Dwetmaster]

...And soooo many IRRELEVANT people have one...

[@juxtaposeism]

strictly confidential

[@zombiemachinery4868]

It could be that he doesn't want to have one.

[@rodrigocostamagna3896]

what a tone... incredible sounding

[@coolaxe-dw4840]

I really enjoyed this video; you are a great musician.

[@Losbass]

Oooh that groove .... that tone! ...Legend!

[@Darryl6636]

Holy smokes man your an amazing bass player!!!!

[@stevenjanelli3177]

This cat has that thang!! I just love listening to Bobby play. He makes bass playing fun too!

[@Techedman]

Dude can sure play with a pick!

[@1okanaganguy]

Thank you, Bobby. Thank you very much!

[@rafito1280]

This guy has groove in his DNA. The fuzz tune session was priceless!

[@bassboye8959]

Very cool guy! Never heard of him until this morning. I'm almost his age. He still plays very well. And well rounded technically. It does get more difficult too keep our chops Sharp as we age. We ain't as pretty as we were in youth. Yet what's inside & our work invested speak for us. Enjoyed your stories Bobby. Ty

[@elpmurc]

I could listen to B.V. talk about/play bass all day!

[@AA-vv5fd]

Wow. He is like magic. What a talent!

[@enderfall2000]

This guy seems really cool! I'd love to see him play live one day!

[@TrevBec]

Fabulous player! Loving his groove and gnarl!

[@elbanner1]
