Bobby Vega using a Carol Kaye bass pick @ Sweetwater GearFest 2015

#SweetwaterGearFest #BobbyVega
Bobby Vega was playing at the Aguilar booth @ GearFest 2015 when we asked him if he'd play using the Carol Kaye bass pick that we had on us. He said he knew Carol & would be happy to, so here it is!

Probably the best all round bassist in the world at present.

[@blkjakk]

He’s damn great for sure!!

[@TH-bk5hj]

[@Frank_Reynolds__.]

For west coast dead officiated acts, for sure.

Lady in Pink: Who is this guy? What is he doing? Why does it sound so much better than my man???

[@blkjakk]

True 🤩

[@ronbush526]

Love his playing style.

[@NickintheStates]

Sweet tones from that man's hands!

[@blkjakk]

He was such a fun, nice guy too 😊

[@DanButcher303]

Carol Kaye picks are my main picks. I do have some felt picks but I rarely use them

[@blkjakk]

Very cool!

[@juanticimo]

One of the best to ever do it!

[@blkjakk]

Yeah Bobby is PHENOMENAL!!

[@burtreynolds2969]

Cool. Carol sent me a few of her personalized picks.

[@blkjakk]

Burt Reynolds My wife has a bunch of her picks but she doesn’t play bass with a pick. I’ve used them in the past for playing guitar & they’re pretty good! I stick a Monster Grip on both sides.

[@L.A.Killah213]

Hes amazing 👊🏼😎👊🏼

[@blkjakk]

Yep he is 😎

[@brbadge]

Bobby is..so ...friggin'.. great!

[@blkjakk]

Yes, he is! Plus he’s a very nice guy 😊

[@JT-si6bl]

Uh, that touch is lit!

[@paolozak3014]

OH YES !

[@blkjakk]

yes indeed!

[@petebjerkelund5088]

Did those two roaming around in the background have any idea…?

[@blkjakk]

Lol nope. 😄

[@IanMartinAllison]

Girl in the pink shirt be all like, "Pft. My boyfriend can TOTALLY play those licks."

[@blkjakk]

Lol yeah you're right!

[@mactire1288]

She was probably thinking " how come my boyfriend dosent make that happen on his bass"...the fact he is busy doing something else when Bobbys playing is a good indicator as to why

[@peterjanjanin9883]

I don't think the girl in the pink knows who he is lol

[@blkjakk]

peter janjanin Yeah. She was just a non-musician there with her man. Lolol.

[@peterjanjanin9883]

Blkjakk I had the pleasure of having a phone conversation with him once and he's honestly one of the coolest guys!

[@danlewis4886]

She looks like a Karen lol

[@tonye.morgan1162]

Kinda look like Rhonda Rousey

Lol

[@steveonoir]

BV is one of the GREATEST!!!!!

[@blkjakk]

Steve Ordonez Plus he was a super nice guy. 👍🏻

[@peterjanjanin9883]

He's pretty much the only dude that's cool using a plectrum

[@qwargy]

Shows that in the right hands, pick style can sound awesome on the bass.

[@blkjakk]

qwargy Absolutely!!

[@ericnorth6577]

"Let's get out of here, babe. Nothing to see over there."

[@blkjakk]

Exactly!!! 😂

[@TPBass1224]

I think it's impossible for Bobby Vega NOT to dance as he plays.

[@blkjakk]

Yeah, thank goodness!

[@zamkowicz]

Getting King Crimson vibes around 0:35

[@blkjakk]

Bobby’s great. 💙

[@vera666ify]

Definitely not,apparently you've never heard king crimson

[@llnn5112]

The girl with the pink shirt must be thinking "Why is that dude's guitar so big and why is it missing strings"?

[@blkjakk]

LL NN Yeah probably so. 😂

[@rojerweller2881]

So what brand and gauge of pick does she use ?

[@blkjakk]

rojer weller She uses & sells her own brand ! www.carolkaye.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=56&osCsid=

[@TheChef470]

The Lady behind Bobby is obviously at the wrong booth....

[@blkjakk]

Lol true

[@zukhragaraeva4424]

Lol, so is the guy 🤦‍♂️

[@Electromechanic1993]

She is interested 😅

[@stevensmith6019]

I think he has more fingers than a human.

[@blkjakk]

He’s got the funk. 😎

[@EdwinvanderSmissen]

She is looking like... Who is that old guy with a bass...

[@blkjakk]

Yeah I know 😂

[@bradypatterson8629]

Karen in the background… Don’t act like you’re not impressed
