That basschat.co.uk rotasound advert.

[bass_dinger]

My basschat feed has an advert across the top of it, for Rotosound strings. 

 

Lots of attractive, young, happy people smiling because of their string choice, and a couple of older, professorial gentlemen, making music.

 

Are they well-known musicians, or models chosen for their good looks?

I take it you haven’t seen many bass players before 😜

Same here, Stevie Wonder told me so.

You're not taking the question seriously - which probably tells me all that I need to know about the likely answer! 

 

Is the man that tall bassist who makes cheese?

 

Is the person in the hat the young German girl who works for Thomann and demonstrates basses on their YouTube channel?

The only one I recognise is the bassist Kinga Glyk (in the hat)

I see no stinking adverts

[Mykesbass]

I've got myself locked out of Facebook so can't ask her, but I think Italian blues artist Eliana Carlegnutti may be among them.

Love this video of her playing Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

I know this is probably done to showcase her skills and probably not what she would normally play, but if I was in a band and the bass was played like that over the song I think I would soon be asking them politely to find another band.

 

And that is coming from someone who likes busy/creative bass players.  Maybe it is just me.  Each to their own of course and not knocking you for liking it yourself.

I suggest you look at a few more of her YouTube videos. She is a really excellent bass player and it is her band so she can play what she likes, and does.

And does it very well, at that!

They're young and happy because they haven't used Rotos long enough to have to stump up the cash for a refret. 

[Newfoundfreedom]

It's so small I can't see it. 

 

(Why do I get the feeling I've said that before somewhere?)

Now there’s a good bass player I had her albums for a good while and they still get plenty of air time

Gibsons’ QC budget?

Ric’s PR budget?

Fenders RD budget?

My budget?

They only look young and happy because they haven't realised the amount of fret wear they are going to experience.

It was funnier the first time. 😉

Rotasound strings don't need an advert anymore.

Noone would play that in a band, she is playing along solo to a record.

Is the guy on his own the bassist from Snarky Puppy? I recognised Kinga.

[ezbass]

Here's the list of players from the Rotosound website. https://www.rotosound.com/players/ Unfortunately, not all the players have photos.

That'd be Michael League. He's not in the above list and I don't think that's a bass the guy is holding, looks more like a nylon strung acoustic to me, but there is certainly a resemblance to ML.
