The Bass Geek

Aside from a sticky footswitch on the second preset, the new bass DI is working fine - good tone and pretty easy to use.  I’m sure the pedal is far out of warranty, so I’m wondering what I need to do to get things rolling again.  A quick opening of the case might be necessary.

I’m getting a lot of Victor Wooten from all sides these days, too.  What was once the provence of geeky bassists is now being touted by XM and PRI’s Bob Edwards (who fairly gushed at every opportunity), the cover of Electronic Musician, and pretty much every “neighbor” list on eMusic.  Some songs on the new albums are fairly interesting, although I’ve always been more impressed by the live show over the songwriting.  And he’s completed a transition from flashy sideman to almost a philosophical mentor for bassists (and other musicians).  It’ll be interesting to see how all of this is received by those outside the four-stringed world.
