Dude, You Just Lost the Gig

I really like that gal in the second video. Those were some of the tastiest fills I've ever heard. 2:45-2:50 area is great, and 3:00 out is top notch. What a player.

 

Also worth checking out Mohini Dey and Esperanza Spalding. Both amazingly good in very different ways.

 

I didn't even know I was being considered for the gig!

 

What's there not to love? Three talented bassists sharing their art with the rest of us. I really liked the tone of the basses in the last two clips, no offense to Tal. Hers was live and therefore from a different source, obviously.

 

You ARE getting forgetful.

 

We weren't. I think OP was just tryimg to make us feel better.

 

I'm not sure which one she outclasses me on the most. .....bass groove or voice.

 

I'm glad that's the intent. My read of the title and first post was "it's odd and unusual that a woman can be a great bass player".
Imagine "dude you lost the gig" with a video of Victor or Marcus or Pattitucci. Yep, I'd lose the gigs to them too.

But yes, there are some amazing bass players out there, and some of them are women.

 

And the award for the most sexist, tone deaf thread on talkbass goes to ...

 

To which comment in particular are you referring? I have a wife and a daughter, and haven't read anything yet that would offend me if said about either of them.
