I think Victor Wooten and Cliff Burton of Metallica are kind of in different leagues. While both are amazing, I'm sure comparing their styles against each other would be hard, because who's to say Victor Wooten is a better heavy metal bassist, while Wooten can pull off more technical manuevers? Victor Wooten is like a prodigy bass player. Its not really fair to compare anyone to him except other virtuosos, which, while I'm sure Burton is good, I doubt he is at a virtuoso level like Wooten.
