warwickhunt Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hmmmm. I'm sure there will be dozens of equally good bassists on youtube playing this and more technical pieces with as much/more feeling but you chose this because? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny_Innie Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Girl power ..... but ..... I'm not a big fan of this playing along to songs on Youtube thang. Would be better if she had recorded her own backing track played as part of that. She can play but, hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jones Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Seems to me there's a minor YT industry of attractive women who are also pretty good bass players. Some of them are better than others (and some of them play on their physicality a little too much). Isn't it time we stopped finding the idea of female bassists novel? She could have saved herself a lot of work by dropping her tuning a semitone on this, like Nate Watts did when he played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 She wont take Marta's crown imo, my own version would be just as good if not better but I doubt I'd get any interest? Can't really hear her anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnythenotes Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well what is she supposed to do then ...put a bag over her head and turn the light off ? She... Or should I say ' this person' is a good player, and that's it. Any reference to backing tapes, down tuning, or doing her own material is completely irrelevant. She is playing it extremely well, obviously knows how to use tone and volume, so its right for the mix, and looks completely relaxed and at ease throughout the whole piece. What else do you need.....give credit where it's due...Personaly I loved it...lets have some more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I can't hear her so I shall reserve my judgement then, visually it looks no better or worse than the standard I'd be expected to play it at in an average wedding band IMO.

Marvin Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I'm going to be a miserable old git. She's good, no doubt about that. However, her video was put up 2 years after Huw Foster's (who posts on here) yet has received almost 10000 more views than Huw's. No call me cynical but... Personally, I think Huw Foster absolutely nails it.

lojo Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Some of you guys are taking PC to the extreme, the OP always posts threads about Bands/Songs he loves and they are vary varied, give him a break. Surely if anyone wanted to seek a something sexual, and low quality image of someone playing bass is not the place to start. Im a big Huw fan BTW.

xilddx Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 You don't get that level of bass skills without a lot of study, practice and experience. She's a pro bassist and plays like one. Some people can't get past the fact she's female and that's stupid. I defy anyone to have heard the audio only and tell which gender the player was, it's irrelevant. If you fancy her that's your own affair. I enjoyed the vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
