Indeed, she's great!

Her name is Julia Hofer. I've now watched a few of her videos and am totally a fan. Thanks for the heads-up!

 

[WrapRough]

She's got a great video on Bootsy

I’m a huge fan. I also like that folks can appreciate her talent without constantly fawning over her looks. THAT’S a true testament to how talented she is!!

I like how she makes it all look so easy.

Thanks! I didn't understand why she wasn't on her own channel...

Granted, but let's not turn this into (yet) another "female bassists thread, OK?

Love the video series with Julia. I like the different basses she uses to get the tones and great playing too.

Fair enough.

The video of her at Sandberg spec-ing out her bass is pretty interesting.

Yeah, I watched that one. It's great to see the options you have on these types of instruments. That was a cool vid.

Crikey. Her technique is so good. It's maddening, how watching great players make want to simultaneously 1) get in the shed and 2) chuck my gear out the window and take up painting.

Or do both

What makes her technique especially impressive to me is that she is quite petite and has very small hands. You can tell by just looking at how large basses look when she's holding them, but if you look at her Instagram page or just Google her you can find pics of her standing next to other people that clearly show how small she is.

There’s no shortage (pun intended...) of preteen kids on YT just ripping all over the fretboard on full size basses... just goes to show, if you work on technique it’ll pay off. Being able to shift quickly and accurately negates the need for big stretches.
