Remembering jazz bassist Victor Bailey and his unique sound with the Zoom 607 pedal

Victor Bailey, a renowned jazz bassist, is remembered for his innovative techniques and collaborations with major artists like Weather Report and Madonna. His unique sound was highlighted in his 2009 album, "Slippin' N' Trippin'," particularly in his cover of Prince's "Kiss." Bailey used the now-discontinued Zoom 607 multi-effects pedal to create distinctive bass sounds. He layered multiple tracks and employed various techniques to achieve a rich, textured sound, which has intrigued many bass players despite the pedal's lack of commercial success. In addition to his bass work, Bailey showcased his vocal abilities and creativity in other tracks on the album. He adapted a song from his father and explored fretless bass on Burt Bacharach's "Alfie," demonstrating his versatility and musical depth throughout his career.
