Wooten is most often seen playing
Fodera basses, of which he has a signature model.
His most famous Fodera, a
1983 Monarch Deluxe he refers to as "number 1," sports a Kahler
Tremolo System model 2400 bridge. Fodera's "Yin Yang" basses
(co-designed by and created for Wooten) incorporates the Yin Yang symbol—which
Wooten uses in various media—as a focal point of the top's design and
construction. The symbol is created from two pieces of naturally finished wood
(Ebony and Holly, for example), fitted together to create the Yin-Yang pattern. As well as playing electric bass (both
fretted and fretless) and the double bass, Victor also played the cello in high
school. He still plays cello occasionally with the Flecktones as well as in the
2012 Sword and Stone/Words and Tones tour.
