I don't know who the bass player is.. Who cares, she's/he's amazing and the tone is killer.

Tone: pretty well suited to this style of music. Actually is pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking though.
Amazingness: Well, she can do eight note up and down pick strokes. I'd hardly call that amazing. Left hand technique is rudimentary at best. Amazingness-meter says "thumbs down".
Better Feel And Sound Than You: It's mighty hard to impart any feel to the music just playing pretty mechanical eighth notes. I'd say she didn't succeed in that either.

You know if you want to like her then cool. Didn't flop my mop at all though.

What's interesting to me is the linear method she plays with. It's a very different approach from the norm and I have to say I really like it. Rather than playing a note on the next string up she runs way up the next to play it on the same string. It's a nice style.

Yep, sounds like a picked P bass to me.

+1

I'd call it "patronizing" to say she's amazing, bro...there's plenty of female bassists that could play circles around her lol.
