I've played quite awhile. When I started, it was mostly men, there weren't a lot of women playing, aside from Carol Kaye, Jean Millington (Fanny), and, in the later 70's, Janice Johnson (A Taste of Honey). Nowadays, everybody's a bass player, LOL. 30 years ago, Jaco blew everybody away. I see kids today practically playing circles around Jaco...
