bass_dinger Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassybert Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I take it you haven’t seen many bass players before 😜 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_dinger Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 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?

Acebassmusic Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) The only one I recognise is the bassist Kinga Glyk (in the hat) Edited January 19, 2023 by Acebassmusic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Is the guy on his own the bassist from Snarky Puppy? I recognised Kinga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Here's the list of players from the Rotosound website. https://www.rotosound.com/players/ Unfortunately, not all the players have photos. 45 minutes ago, Linus27 said: Is the guy on his own the bassist from Snarky Puppy? I recognised Kinga. 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.
