Hi all, fellow bass player here, I was hoping that maybe some of you would take part in my survey for my uni dissertation:)

My survey is about the challenges faced by women bass players in the male dominated music industry and I would really appreciate it if any one would take part 🙂 it is not very long and it would really help me out a lot.😁

 

Im looking forward to hearing all of your answers and thank you again ❤️https://forms.gle/13gfLAL44VZzhHyq6

Oh wow, I got really confused for a min there, thinking "I'm sure I already did this" - finally figured it out - the thread's duplicated in Bass Guitars

Done

But what are you trying to achieve?
There seem to be female Bassists all over the socials…

Kinga Glyk, Mohini Dey, Cici von Strangelove, Rhonda Smith, Esperanza Spalding, Daisy Pepper, Ida Nielson….Just off the top of my head, all seem to be doing very well for themselves?
I don’t think male dominance has held them back in the industry?
Talent is talent as far as I can see?

Mate, those bright lights you mentioned aside, it's a sausage fest out there.

How many lower echelon female bassists get overlooked in favour of males with the same (or possibly a bit less) ability?

 

I personally can't assess how much bias there is for or against female musicians generally - I've tried some recruiting for rock covers bands, for drummers and guitarists, and as I've never had a female applicant it's difficult to assess what proportion of musicians one should expect in bands if there was no bias. With vocalists it's more complex - though this is the mirror image of the situation, I remember one guitarist who turned us down after making first contact because we were a female fronted rock band and apparently women can't sing rock. I assume that any band that he put together would operate on the same principle.
