Rumble Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Well I thought I'd worked it out, then I watched the Jeff Beck clip again on Youtube and she seems to be getting a fretless type sound from her Sadowsky fretted. Me-sa confused. In the last hour I must've listen to the second track on her myspace page at least 8 times. Nothing overly fancy, just fantastic, tasteful playing. Hats off to her.

paul, the Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 To be on topic. I really like Tal's playing. Her solos are 'cool'. That is to say they are tasteful and melodious without being overly sentimental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 6 page thread about Tal Wilkenfeld and about 5% of the posts relate to her bass playing. Great respect for her as a bass player. As for her sex, why the flying f*** does that have to take up the other 95% of the posts, this is after all a bass forum and not a boy's club. Personally she looks too much like my daughter for me to find her attractive, but then I'm an old bastard. If you find treating women like a piece of meat fun then that's frankly a bit narrow and sad imo. Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the original poster wasn't implying that part of his love for her wasn't due to her attractiveness, why did he include a picture? Would he have included a pic of a new male bass soloist? To me, the original post (and several subsequent) implies that the "love" is partly due to appearence. Therefore, comments about appearence are fair game. You're a grown man.

Sean Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 [quote name='TheBigBeefChief' post='117114' date='Jan 9 2008, 04:28 PM']I think women appreciate a bit of honesty. If I met her I'd tell her that if she jumps in the shower and puts a comb through her hair I might give her one. She'd be all over me.[/quote] I took this as sarcastic and ironic, self-deprecatory wit. We should realise by now that The BBC struggles with getting the quotes to work and doesn't know how to get the emoticons up so I self-edit the comments. It makes me shudder to think that anyone actually took this seriously. Though it does reinforce what I've said before about the importance of emoticons when communicating on line. I really hope The BBC comes along to the next bash so that people can get a handle on it all. I whole heartdly agree with Jamie though when he says that people ought to think before they post. In work I continually have to listen to piss-takes because I am Welsh. I know these people are not racist and they would never say the same things about black people or Muslim Pakistanis or the like but I know it's all good natured. If it wasn't they'd get some serious flak. Lighten up and see this monkey's humour for what it is. PS - BBC, I think you're a t****r! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
