Wow, I just watched a whole show of the Adrien Belew Power trio on Rockpalast (who knew that show was still on?) and was blown away by Julie and her brother. I know she's on these forums once in a while, so Julie, if you read this, as a fellow Pennsylvanian bass player (albeit one who now lives in Boston), let me say how much I love your playing.

I highly recommend checking this out; SUPER aggressive P bass tone (very reminiscent of John Wetton's Crimson sound with the raging Hiwatts) and a multitude of playing approaches; pick, fingers and thumb- all really punishing the strings. Very melodically enthusiastic- there's a real joy in her playing and, honestly, she gives Adrian a run for his money on the sonic weirdness front- all the while pushing him to new heights. What a killer rhythm section.

Anyway, it immediately inspired me to turn up the pre on my amp. Way up, actually.

Definitely not feeling torn about the Julie not being a "well kept secret" any longer.

You could also check out other Belew Power Trio recordings like Side 4 Live , the download live in Japan set (Live Overseas on iTunes), or the new "e" album! The Rockpalast set is great, but there is a lot more.

Yes, Julie, I know you are there! Not being rude ;)

Hey Julie,

As I said, my bass playing is also fueled by scrapple and Yeunling and your playing made me really happy. I hear some Tony Levin in there, of course, but were you ever into John Wetton? What bass players influenced you?

Of course - Wetton's playing is what influenced me to get a P Bass! And Jack Bruce is what caused me to paint my first bass (a Squier Musicmaster) like his Fender VI, and Chris Squire is the reason I got Ric...

btw, the ONLY way to run an svt 4 pro is to crank that preamp. although julie is now using gk hybrids...same deal applies ;)

my favorite "new" bass player. edgy, lots of chops that never get in the way of rocking out, thinks out of the box, looks great in black...what's not to like? ;)
