The world's list of legendary bass guitarists is pretty short, yet a topic of much debate. Most agree that Primus' Les Claypool and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea are up at the top of the list. And so is Victor Wooten, five-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Bass Player of the Year.

While most know him from his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Wooten has been slappin' the bass since he was a toddler, first performing at age 6 with his family in The Wooten Brothers Band.

But few know Wooten's life began at Mountain Home Air Force Base, where he was born into a military family in 1964. Decades after his bass prowess became legendary, Wooten returns to Idaho with his trademark Fodera to perform as a solo act.
