blue Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1456176889' post='2986378'] I think there's bass playing, and bass playing. Personally I'd take exception to the term 'love' too, but that's just me. Sometimes this is a great forum. Other times not so, especially when there's playing that doesn't conform to the collective view of what bass playing should be. I think both videos are amazing, I'd love to have that kind of ability. I've spent many thousands of hours practicing and don't come anywhere close. [/quote] Been playing for 50 years and have a tiny fraction of that ability. Jealous? Of course.

charic Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I liked it up until the solo mark. Up until then it had an almost dream theatre sort of feel to it. Incredibly tight playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 [quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1456139978' post='2985711'] An immense talent for sure and still very young!(although she's 18 now I think) [/quote] She's 18? Playing like that at [i]18?[/i] Oh man, I hate her**. **not really, but you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm not keen on the tone, but her playing is impressive. She could fix the tone in seconds by turning some dials on her amp. I just wish I could attain her level of dexterity by doing the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingsta Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Technically impressive, but for me at least it left me cold musically. There just wasn't anything of any musical worth in there imo, but I am somewhat blinkered by the fact that I despise most music where the emphasis is on showcasing technical ability and in particular when it's about playing really bloody fast for its own sake. They might be the most soulful players in the world but that's completely lost when playing this kind of music. Now find me the next young crop of players who can play like Bobby Vega and I'll sit up and take notice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odysseus Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The OP vid isn't representative of any other stuff I've seen her do. With Nitin Sawhney, she grooves like a badass. She's got some serious skills for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1456178004' post='2986398'] I don't think it's spead up. You only have to hear Matt Garrison or Gary Willis play for instance. [/quote] +1 If you watch her right hand technique she's using three fingers most of the time and I'm pretty sure her little finger is joining the party as well at certain points.

tauzero Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The first video was technically impressive, although I'm another one who wasn't keen on the tone - while the first part was about pyrotechnics rather than feeling, I thought the section from 2:00 had quite a bit of expression.

bubinga5 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Its definitely sped up a little, but that can happen with YouTube vids. On purpose or not she's still very accomplished. I was more liking her solo. Not to everyones taste the first vid I'm sure. The tone is not my favourite either, but it really doesn't bother me.
