Doug Wimbish & Victor Wooten Bass Duet Live at NAMM 2015

[@joshuadas8195]

I love how victor is just vibing in the beginning of the video. It's cool seeing two completely different sounding bassists feed off each other's energy

[@garethsherwood1513]

My 2 of my fav bass players jamming together, friggin awesome.

[@krbmsw]

Two wonderful talents clearly enjoying making music together. This is what playing is all about.

[@skylervernieu112]

I couldn't stop smiling the entire video. Absolutely inspiring.

[@Bassic778]

WOW!!! I have never heard the mellow and melodic side of Doug Wimbish!!!! Excuse my ignorance! Amazing!!!

[@chidrummer]

Two masters at work making some incredible improv music in real time. Just relax and admire the beauty.

[@mygr8afro]

I'm sorry...but those folks who say " Doug is showing off / can't play / Victor is playing circles around him / NAMM is only for top notch players " etc - clearly have NO IDEA what's going on here. Both are amazing artists who just use different ways to express themselves. Doug uses sound ( or effects ) as his palette , Vic uses more technique as his ; both being tasteful and musical in the process. If you think NAMM is just for the super chops / musical elite - then you're kinda missing the point of music itself , I think. Just a thought.

[@IIHOGZBREATHII]

+mygr8afro ...and this whole experience wouldn't be possible if not for two amazing musicians and their individual styles. "Showing off!"...only an imbecile could say that, not knowing what they're watching and listening to. This performance soooo cool!!!

[@jho0seph]

+mygr8afro Ya said!

[@shawntyson4339]

he's not playing circles around him at all..

[@ezrazski]

i think wimbish is the better bassist, clearly. chops are great but note choice is everything, tone is second. wimbish is better in both those.

[@drock1383]

mygr8afro i think u meant to say vic CAN play circles around doug, but this was dougs idea in the looper, doug owned that jam. Big age gap there between the two fine bassist. Experience shined on this jam for sure. imo

[@holdencaustic]

Two extremely expressive players talking- this was awesome- thanks for the share!

[@TheFreebasslessons]

That was really great!!

[@7Skulls7]

Always a pleasure to see Doug play, Victor good diet dude lookin trim dude!

[@thegroovesarge]

This is the only video from NAMM I was searching for

[@behringer]

Stephen Edgerton It was a great show, thanks for watching!

[@bassheadjazz2708]

What up edge!

[@gregdilorenzo7888]

Amazing! - Great players always get great tone - From the base groove that Doug lays down - Great playing, Great groove and tone - Trifecta!!

[@Giannosism]

Doug sets the atmosphere, Vic simply can’t miss.. what a duet! Honestly, crazy!

[@prestachuck2867]

The clarity of those amps! I think anyone who says that Behringer/Bugera don't make good amps just cannot get past the name badge. Listen with your ears, not your eyes.

[@mrinnervisionz]

OMG, this was awesome, two great bass players just playing their asses off !

[@rockbrown33]

wow absolutely beautiful

[@DarrenLipper]

So so good... Two of my all time favorites!

[@Digoloureiro1]

Beautiful duet!!! Legends of bass guitar!!!!

[@catcato87]

I want to see Doug Jam with Thundercat like this. Would be Hella cool.... FACTS

[@thegroovesarge]

+Maggie Li I dont know if minds are ready for that collab. I think aliens would come down to watch lol.

[@harlossantana6350]

Was looking for a good demo of the Bugera bass setup, this is all I needed, sounds great. Thanks.

[@supersam1914]

Wow that was beautiful

[@mattiameis3300]

2 GIANTS!!!!

[@mickfoil]

Outstanding!

[@2012wyvern]

That is what I called melodic!!!

[@DallasGunther]

So much emotion expressed in the way the lead playing weaves in and out of that haunting melody he started with.

[@hamedzolfaghari7214]

awsome bass play !!

[@leondobrzanski9336]

I LOVE THIS MUSIC !!!!

[@crtsdxn]

Beautiful. Unique.

[@choo1874]

INCREDIBLE!!!

[@robdubent]

these two are meant to jam

[@marcomazotti]

Awesome players !!

[@crete23]

I am going to play this jam anytime I smoke weed again.

[@johanneswarn5488]

REALLY liking the way that Bugera rig looks, the amp head looks like a nice Hifi stereo amplifier! And Turbosound loaded cabinets, can't go wrong with that... I'm gonna try out that rig when i get the chance!

[@derekdocjohnson3158]

Absolutely wonderful 🔥🔥🔥💯👍🏽😎

[@onkelpeppe]

Magick!

[@Midemabass]

too sweet ! not useless frills , really good vibe

[@phoenixdevourer6392]

one o de koolest bass duo i have heard

[@LukVonTrug]

that moment someone 'steels' victor wooten the show xD never thougt that this day was coming

[@blackdog5186]

Sounds like Spanish guitar when Doug wimbish plays

[@marksmith4126]

how can anyone dislike this.

[@irfanmyg]

In the very beginning, what effects is Doug using? I've never heard that kind of reverb and delay before.

[@Kuuuks]

Victor wooten heard the tone at the beginning and said Ooo wow.....I think he might switch from Hartke ....lol

[@iwillnevergetone5]

haha your right! his face tells all. that's probably exactly what he was thinking

[@34672rr]

Darrien Day Give me a break, they all sound the same anyway, and they just use what they use because they are sponsored.

[@brentd]

Kuuuks I thought it was kind of funny he was playing a Behringer gig with his Hartke amp with gaff tape covering the logo.

[@situationing]

Music!

[@big_dad9465]

I’ve got those bass cabs they are killer

[@TamierTheRocker]

6:10 THE LICK

[@thpriest15]

What's that thing that Doug's using at 5:26?

[@TuGinecologo]

are both using the bugera veyrons? the m or t models? i really loved the doug's sound in this video

[@behringer]

+TuGinecologo Yes they are both using Bugera Veyron Bass Amps for this performance. Doug is using the Tube model and Victor is using the Mosfet.

[@studiomusic1777]

muinto bommmmmmmmmmmmmm demais

[@craigllacour649]

Vic didn't play circles around him

[@stuntman3495]

Yes he did

[@kennethbeavers6903]

Who cares! They do their own thing

[@darthmeek]

I was reading the comments an I can't believe all the name calling. we all have a right to say what we feel without the abuse for doing so. both are great bassist no doubt. 1 question . why does Doug need 20+ pedals??

[@samhardingham5591]

Cause its fun

[@tobaashaolu3558]

Good best

[@XavierAlexzander]

Mann that was ear food!

[@ericgc01]

they really beat that thing to the ground...

[@MrJuncker]

Well done Doug

[@muriloninja]

Awesome...pass the joint! : )

[@Cmanuel1025]

What are the names of the pedals DW was using? Especially that treble tone distorted sound. Does anyone know?

[@Hajimodo]

Check out the rig rundown that Premier Guitar did with him and Vernon Reid from Living Colour. His pedal board is EXTENSIVE.

[@GunGrave112985]

Are those 2 amp heads stacked on the Bugera amp or effects processors? What models are they?

[@behringer]

GunGrave112985 ,Those are the new VEYRON bass amp heads from our sister company, BUGERA. There are 2 versions, MOSFET & Tube. You can find more information here: www.bugera-amps.com/EN/products/BV1001M.aspxwww.bugera-amps.com/EN/products/BV1001T.aspx

[@MajinGohanSSJ2]

wow

[@MrJeffharper47]

What kind of effects were they using

[@behringer]

Jeff harper, if memory serves, Victor was using no effects at all and Doug has an effects board so large that a list just wouldn't be possible! But he was definitely using his Whammy pedal in this clip.

[@A.J.K87]

Go to the Premier Guitar channel and look for ''rig rundowns''. They did one with Doug Wimbish. They go through his whole rig including effects pedals.

[@frankiegumballs]

Any info on a release date for the Bugera amps?

[@behringer]

frankie g, which amps are you referring to - the VEYRON bass amps or the new guitar amps that were shown? Either way, we'd suggest staying current with our Facebook page for all updates and news!

[@frankiegumballs]

***** I was referring to the Veyron bass amps.

[@behringer]

frankie g, VEYRON amps have shipped and are available at some retail locations now! Check with your local retailers to determine availability.

[@TheKarakocanLi]

which is this style music ? ( jazz smoth of another style )

[@BicycleJoeTomasello]

12 year old Brandon Niederauer soaking it all in sitting in the corner at stage right 2:00 Eric McFadden too hanging in front

[@WallY07wAc]

were they using the x air series? or the x32?

[@behringer]

The audio recording from this video performance was recorded on an X32 Digital Console.

[@Muppio]

How do you get that backwards delay thing Doug has going?

[@Muppio]

Thank you.

[@martinorozco2590]

Víctor wooten 👑 is GOD ☀️☯️

[@giovanniterranova51]

omg.....

[@carlocaponi]

what's the name of that song?

[@behringer]

Carlo Caponi, we believe that is one of Doug's songs, called "Swirl".

[@carlocaponi]

Yes! Thank you!

[@carlosmachadoneto297]

Neil Patrick Harris behind them?

[@behringer]

Carlos Machado Carlos, Ha! He gets that a lot - that's our own Sean Fairchild, who was emceeing our NAMM performances and interviewing the artists.

[@denizfikirdans7138]

does anyone know the chord progression?

[@ruariforrest2881]

It's based around an A minor. Try an A open string plus the minor third at the 15th and 14th frets. then barr at 14th with the B in the bass plus the d on the 17th on the G. Then descend to the Bb at the 13th plus the on the 17th. Thats the rough progression.

[@ruariforrest2881]

Sorry not B and Bb but F# and F at the 14th and 13th. it follows a similar progression to a song called Silencer by Dub War

[@theonecalledvino8165]

Eric McFadden in the front!

[@OrisLover]

What kind of bass is Wimbish playing?

[@dayvidiot]

OrisLover that's a stewart spector

[@sidrings]

dayvidiot (Stuart) Spector NS-2 USA mod or his Signature Euro 4XL

[@dayvidiot]

Sid Ringsby oops...thanks for the spell-check. there's a rig rundown with him where talks about that bass...custom kramer era ns 2, tweaked to his taste.

[@professorshermanklump7553]

SWEEEEEET.......psk

[@isaiahjones8887]

Does this have a name like is it a song

[@behringer]

Isaiah Jones, we think it's a song of Doug's, and has "Swirl" in the title :)

[@McInista]

Pepe Bao Eso si que es un bajista.

[@GodJa420]

O_O

[@Detownrebel1]

Some nasty distortion there...uggg

[@strzempa]

One freak one genius.

[@a.w.f.m.4252]

:D

[@dannymccormack6588]

Victor Wooten's surprinsingly impressive melodic playing totally ruined by Wimbish's ridiculous Digitech Whammy nonsense. The former should stop what he normally does, and the latter should never do what he did on this video again.

[@ezrazski]

all love for the bass playing geniuses here. wooten shows his dissonant self, and his weird timing, which to my soul makes wimbish the better overall player. it's almost not close to me. wooten is on the wrong instrument. some of my best boys, best bass players i know, swear by wooten but i just don't hear it. he plays the wrong notes enough that it doesn't cover for his chops IMO

[@catboyzee]

Uh, they aren't influenced by Stanley Clarke...much. LOL! I love it...

[@kennethbeavers6903]

Check out they're interviews on their influences. They borrowed from many Bass players

[@keithholt7155]

Let's see nikki sixx do this lol✌rock & roll filthy rich bassist.

[@RABALAK]

All was good but, that bass sounds like a guitar WTF? a little bit is ok but all time? nah

[@derekmotta6926]

Easily the two best bass players alive.

[@willemm1998]

derek motta easily no

[@shawntyson4339]

derek motta You might want to check out the man who started it all,Mr Larry Graham.

[@sixfoursoul2538]

Am I the only one who thought this was kinda just.. meh ?

[@123traitor]

Satriani is better:)

[@FernandoPetryBASS]

Dough is obviously an excellent musician but this kind of gig is for real top notch players, technically and artistically. Put him with Mr. Wooten is not a good fit and people should know how to say no to some situations. Anyway, Victor is still the boss and was humble and gentle enough to include him while jamming.

[@Bassic778]

Fernando Petry Official So it's your opinion that Doug is not a top notch player technically and artistically? I think that artists that have hired him, i.e., Madonna, The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, Annie Lenox, would beg to differ.

[@ohhhrayos_esjulio3323]

You should know that Doug is actually quite the session musician himself having worked with The Rolling Stones, Seal, Madonna, and In Living Colour just to name a few. Not to mention his many endorsements as an artist. He's just a less traditional player whereas Wooten maintains a more contemporary style but im sure Wooten had as much fun jamming with him as he would've with any other talented musician.

[@Bassic778]

Yessir! Well stated Julio! Doug was a major player on the scene long before Victor was even heard of.

[@basgitaar6381]

These guys don't sound like bassplayers. Seems to me they are guitarplayers with the wrong instrument..

[@oostenmusic]

+Asaf Morales I get what you're saying man, but it is a BASS, meant for the lowest end of the bands personality. Not trying to sound degrading or anything, but the lead guitars are at the very tip (usually) and the bass is at the very back.

[@basgitaar6381]

@ Austin B: You understand what I mean. Bass is in the low frequencies. If you want to solo the high notes; play a guitar! I'm not saying that these players aren't any good, but for me this is not bass playing..

[@6672rock]

Amazing, isn't it? For all the effects, tricks, tones and contorted facial expressions Doug used, Victor used one tone, didn't act like a show-off, and still played circles around him. Great players don't need a bunch of bells and whistles to get the job done.

[@M.Holland]

Doug is an insane player. and yes, he loves fx, but does it make him worse then victor? He just try to color his tone and give it more expresion. I had a chance to play a gig with him as a suportband... and I must say, it was so amazing! :o

[@montreauxs]

Zimt18 Not at all. I find a Serious ART to his methods.. His choice of melody and expression is haunting in this tune. In my mind, they are both ridiculously great musicians..

[@georgebotelho288]

This is the same thing Doug does...always. He's been playing for 10,000 years, but he's only got this one whack ass jam. Jeez man

[@acidbass]

God Almighty - Doug Wimbish should learn how to play.

[@zeruchofficial]

Danny McCormack he plays just fine. Given his resume, I'd say a very large coterie of other musicians think so too.

[@ezrazski]

God Almighty can't help you with that take. Doug Wimbish might be the finest bass player walking. He sounded far better than Wooten in this piece, to me.
