[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1425826364' post='2711097'] Because you said you posted based on playing ability with no agenda behind it, therefore gender is irrelevant. If you had this thread would be a lot shorter [/quote]mate, my intentions are honest. i posted a girl who plays bass and does it very well.… that is bottom line, if you want read into it thats your bag, not mine.. this thread has got longer bud because of sexism.

take heed you people, there are women that are better at electric bass than you and me. my profile pic is proof of that.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1425824205' post='2711067'] In which case maybe change the thread title to 'check this [i]bassist[/i] out' . [/quote]why would i want to do that.. she's a girl who plays bass.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1425822772' post='2711041'] I'm going to be a miserable old git. She's good, no doubt about that. However, her video was put up 2 years after Huw Foster's (who posts on here) yet has received almost 10000 more views than Huw's. No call me cynical but... Personally, I think Huw Foster absolutely nails it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejj4y-aPC2E[/media] [/quote]im a big fan of Huw, but i think her fills are a little more special. well to my ear anyway. in fact with all respect, i think she blows him away.

[quote name='jonnythenotes' timestamp='1425820973' post='2711022'] Well what is she supposed to do then ...put a bag over her head and turn the light off ? She... Or should I say ' this person' is a good player, and that's it. Any reference to backing tapes, down tuning, or doing her own material is completely irrelevant. She is playing it extremely well, obviously knows how to use tone and volume, so its right for the mix, and looks completely relaxed and at ease throughout the whole piece. What else do you need.....give credit where it's due...Personaly I loved it...lets have some more.. [/quote]bang on.. why do i get the feeling there is a bit of underlying sexism on this forum.

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1425819341' post='2710998'] Hmmmm. I'm sure there will be dozens of equally good bassists on youtube playing this and more technical pieces with as much/more feeling but you chose this because? [/quote]good god why is it when you post a woman playing bass there must an agenda behind it. i posted it purely on her playing. I'm sure there are many better bassists out there.. i just happen to like her playing.

the track could be louder in her mix but man she can play. wonderful bass playing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbx07Y3QNqw[/media]

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1390807662' post='2349613'] Its not really about the voice though is it.... They are listening trying to work out how attractive the singer is by the sound of their voice. After the first round it's basically xfactor. [/quote]its a load of sh*t.. there i said it..

[quote name='amnesia' timestamp='1425812021' post='2710862'] Truly awful song, but they have written some really cool rock tracks so I just skip it when it comes on. Excellent album production for the genre. [/quote]not sure if it is a truly awful song. thats a bit strong, but its very pop.

a good attitude seems to encompass everything imo.

i heard this today and thought it was really great. really brightened up my day. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhkhtu1gwpM&feature=youtu.be[/media]

great great bassline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcPGfd3OPkk

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1425333186' post='2706383'] I think he ran out of ideas now Lakland have his already stolen from Musicman one! I dont mind it, wouldn't stop me buying one same goes for the Alleva 'paddle', sometimes they look much better in the flesh? [/quote]with all respect Pete, imo there aren't so many avenues that a bass builder can take to make the perfect headstock. just so happens that Fender and Music Man make great headstocks, that work very well. imo they invented the perfect ones especially the 4 top one underneath 5 string. why make a wheel that is the same as the rest of the wheels and then get criticised because you do so. the best way to look at any design in that respect, is maybe not "stolen" but perhaps respectfully used and embellished on. change in electric bass is overrated imo. i think good basic design was established many years ago with bass. when did you ever see double basses change in design.?? instruments are instruments of the music that change around them. just saying.

Not a color i would choose but its still cool. i quite like the headstock.its looks to me like a very early P Bass headstock. but i agree Dan should have thought out that Basses font a little more, very generic, i got this from a graphic designers font book.. . would like to hear an in-depth review of this bass for sure.

thanks for all the suggestions guys.

here is me mush.

bloody metronomes. . its like a boring office job when you go and play/practice the bass.! playing or practicing the bass should be and always should be a musical experience, with sounds to inspire you. great if you want to play endless scales and muscle memory, but why. throw it in the bin. there are so many more avenues to practice timing than that.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1425083610' post='2703888'] IMO his playing reached a creative high point on the Abbey Road album. Here's 'something' to get you started: [media]http://youtu.be/IrW7dlDHH28[/media] [/quote]fantastic record.. i was thinking something more upbeat.

Can anyone recommend me some records that Paul really plays around the chords. I've heard some in the past but I'm not really a Beatles fan so I'm not in the know. a drummer friend of mine says he was a real James Jamerson fan.. any tracks i might want to listen to.?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1425030698' post='2703068'] Just another Fender copy. What's the big deal? [/quote] i guess regardless of your opinion on Fender copies. playing one, might answer your question. ?

such a great bass line to play. always goes down well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYKYka-PNt0

i like the slight floppiness that the Fat Beams have because of the round core., ,nice and loose and with a well set up bass you can get some great growl. but the Low Riders have a hexagonal core which makes them much tighter. a super low action you can get...but I'm definitely a Fat Beam man. imo they are in a different league to any other company, when it comes to electric bass strings.
