Victor Wooten recommends Quintin Berry

by Evan Kepner Monday, October 19th, 2009

If any great player could endorse you who would you choose? There is not a much higher recommendation than one coming from Victor Wooten himself, who posted on his web site: “You MUST check out Quintin Berry and the Uglistick!”.

Actually, we already have, but in case you haven’t here’s a little more information on Berry.

Berry, aka Q, has played with some serious names including Percy Sledge, Peabo Bryson, The Tams, Cornilus Brothers and Jaco Pastorius. Q also works as a studio musician, developing jingles and bass lines for a wide variety of clients. He also represents Spector Basses at NAMM. He has also had endorsements from Dean Markley Strings, Sennheiser, GK amps, EMG, Vibro-Tek, Levy’s,accugrove and Korg USA. Q has also been to Wooten’s bass camps to share his perspective on the bass.

Check out this incredible bass solo video where Q shows off his underhand technique as well as his more “classical” electric bass playing style.

You can currently catch Q playing with The Uglistick, here are their upcoming tour dates:
