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 suspect she didn’t post the vid to try and get a gig with a function band. Edited January 21, 2023 by wateroftyne 2 Quote

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. Ah ok cool and yep, you are right, definitely not a bass 🙂 Quote

There fixed it for you 😄 Do you like Victor Wooten, Marcus miller, any other solo bass player? That’s what she is, predominantly Jazz. 😄 Quote

That’s what she is, predominantly Jazz. 😄 I don't know why you felt the need to fix something that was already saying that? I was not trying to hate on her, and I'm sure she can play the bass 1000% better than me! There was just something in the feel of her playing in that video that didn't "feel" right to me. Maybe if I was a better musician myself I could explain it more. Some of the runs felt to rushed to me. I'm sure someone will now take huge offence at my microscopically unimportant opinion and create some sort of video with timings and quantising lines, but that is what I felt, and I am allowed to like or dislike something surely?. I did also take the opportunity to search her on Google and found other clips. Others were much better but not my cup of tea, However, ultimately, I am sure she is amazing, and I was just trying to make a cr*p joke about her overplaying on a pop song if in a covers or function band. I guess I should have used emojis! I must admit I have tried to get into Jaco and Victor Wooten before but the soloing videos didn't float my boat. Having said that, they are undoubtedly talented people and I have seen videos of them playing with a band and amazing. My kind of players are Thaddeus Tribbet (a big fan of Jaco I believe), Jamerson, Pino, etc, so I do like a fair bit of soulful jazzy stuff! EDIT - Apologies for derailing the OP's thread....

Ralf1e Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Does anybody still use Rotosound strings? I used to really like them, in fact I have a packet of Rotsound RS 66 LB Swing bass 35 55 70 90 Stainless steel sat on my desk in front of me. Bought them ages ago before I moved home and just found them the other day while looking for something else. Anyone want them? 1 Quote

I think that is clear that, if you are an attractive yet unrecognisable bassist, Rotosound requires that you share a photo of you gazing longingly at the product, while wearing false vampire teeth and playing a bassline that would fail the audition for a function band. Only then can your tout your wares on this thread. Quote
