I think they are both amazing bassists, and I have one of Victor Wooten's solo albums, which I don't care for at all, though he is a better technical player than Squire.
Victor is MUCH more skilled at different techniques ranging from slapping to tapping to everything else.
I'm suprised to see 2 voted out of 4 (not including myself) going to Chris. He's a much better bass player in my opinion, but is less technical the Victor.
Remeber this is only a TECHNICAL poll, not your favorite.
Progressive??- Wooten is a very skilled jazz and funk player- http://www.victorwooten.com/
here's also a very good video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF48Knedyp8&mode=related&search=

Wooten is by far a better technical player than Squire though I like Squires playing better.

Wooten by a long shot. Mind you, this is not a "who is the best bass player" it's a "who is the most skilled"

For what I've heard so far, Wooten absolutely gets my vote

I haven't even looked at the question, and the answer is Jeffrey. If he's up there, he gets my vote. If he's not...he still gets me vote.

I've only heard very little of Victor Wooten's stuff, but I feel that he would be more than able to replicate Chris Squire's work and more

Maybe you haven't heard of a lot of great bassists.

He is one of the premier bassists in the jazz rock/fusion world.His body of work alone is mind-blowing.
