ZPQ Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Very nice playing. She's really talented - to play that well and under the kind of spotlight that being in JB's band must bring, at her age is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_ferret Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Not bad for a bird and not bad for a 21 year old so that makes it pretty good for a 21year old bird but at the end of the day its just more shredding. By the time Andy Fraser was 21 Free had been and gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Cooke Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 careful lads, we have lady members... they have been known to get upset. And they have every reason to as well. Please concentrate on Tal's playing skills... That's a Sadowsky isn't it? I seem to remember they made a big song and dance about the presentation at NAMM... Funny that, cos Joe and Jane Public will just see it as a Fender, after all, only Fender make basses that look like that right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) I can't stand her playing. But so far I'm the only person I know who feels that way. She went to Berklee, got an endorsement with Sadowsky almost immediately and got taken under Anthony Jackson's considerable wing - then he hooked her up with tours backing the likes of Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. Then she got the Jeff Beck gig off the back of that. Am I just bitter and jealous? Probably!!! Has she got where she is because she's a girl and looks about 12? Maybe. EDIT: Like Argh said above, I don't like her tone. But I've also listened to her solo record and I've seen some clips of her 'cutting loose' at some bass masterclass - boring! I'm trying to figure out what it is I'm not getting about her playing that makes her so special. So far I can't come up with anything apart from the fact that people think she's 12. (As for the Jeff Beck/Crossroads DVD thing, I heard he asked not to be on it 'cos he wasn't happy with his playing - when he was the best thing there!) 2nd EDIT: She is getting better though - but if any of you were taking under Anthony Jackson's wing and toured with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Jeff Beck, you'd no doubt improve too! 3rd EDIT: Yep, definitely bitter.

Wil Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Excellent and thoughtful choice of notes in that solo, not noodly at all which is refreshing. I can't help but mention that a few of the comments in this thread are quite offensive to women, and I'm a man for petes sake. Think before pressing submit, please.

PauBass Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm with Wil... excellent choice of notes and very, very talented. She is only 21 and not everyone gets to play with all those musicians unless you are good, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantdosleepy Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Not my kind of music. Seems to be very good at playing yon bass, though. Give me Deborah Scroggins or give me death!

EOS650 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well, I'm not offended and I a woman... Anyway, I do admire that fact that she is 1. a female bass player and 2. Able to play that good even though she and I are the same age. Regardless of her tone and style, I really do think that she a lot better than me and like someone above said, has to to be able to play with such big name musicians... Which is an accomplishment in itself. Are there any other good female bass players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) I would be lying if I said the video wasn't a conflict of interest.

Wil Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I didn't say you did The Funk. I didn't particularly want to go finger pointing and such, just to remind people that threads like this have caused valued members to leave in the past -_- I'm not a mod though, so I shouldn't be getting on my high horse anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
