Count Bassy Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1459106188' post='3013599'] I subscribed to She Shreds. Received a copy in January - great! Nothing since then. I'm beginning to wonder if they've gone out of business. [/quote] No, it's just that they've run out of female guitarists/bassists.

discreet Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1459106188' post='3013599'] I subscribed to She Shreds. Received a copy in January - great! Nothing since then. I'm beginning to wonder if they've gone out of business. [/quote] She Shreds, seashell, by the sea shore. Ha, ha! I wouldn't even say Carol Kaye was much of a shaper - she was a session musician - but she certainly played on so many really huge hits from so many big artists in the 60s and 70s that she almost single-handedly introduced the signature sound of the pick-played Precision Bass to millions of people... even if they didn't know what it was at the time.

seashell Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1459471757' post='3016973'] I wonder how it would go down if someone launched a magazine that advertised the fact that it was specifically dedicated to male musicians?

Phil Adams Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Carol Kaye for sure, seeing as she shaped a lot of it during her long career. Didn't she invent the bass guitar??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefbaker Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1459493495' post='3017027'] That was a joke by the way. [/quote] But not far off. Back in the day when I read it (20+ years back) it was rammed with misogyny so that's a fair argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Old Man Riva' timestamp='1459113363' post='3013676'] That's alright then, I'll calm myself down! (*Mumbles to himself*... "still don't know why Sara Lee wasn't mentioned... bloody lists for this and that and the other etc etc and no Sara Lee...")
