10 best.................Bass Ladies.........

and +1 for Carol Kaye... she was on so many hit songs, and played just
about any genre, a truly remarkable person and musician.

One of the things I remember reading that she said was something like:
"We just got up in the morning and went to work every day... we played
whatever was on the schedule for that day... The producer would tell us
what he wanted and we would do it for him."

Like it's just that easy... *grins

I don't really think it's that easy, but maybe if you're Carol Kaye and some of
those other A-list studio musicians, it is.

Keep it simple, eh?

video unavailable... over and over...

aye weel... no one had mentioned Suzy Quatrro... or shown any videos of Paz. (who might be my fav...)
But prolly Tal is my fave. I have posted photos of her on any given thread where guys were complaining
about the neck on their new guitar.

Guys love to complain about the shapes of the necks on their new guitars that they spent
too much money buying but never played to make sure their hand would allow it...
IMHO it's especially self taught guitarists who
make these kinds of posts. Anyone who's had a proper teacher would know to keep his thumb
behind the neck, making the shape of the neck irrelevant to his musical expression.
...and freeing his left hand for advanced work. Watch Tal Wilkenfeld prove this.

If you watch Tal Wilkenfeld play, you can see right away that the human hand can play any
instrument from a double bass to a mandolin...with NO PROBLEMS...
She's a small woman playing a full size Fender Bass. ...And she plays like a champ.
So don't talk to me about how the neck on your new guitar is a couple of millimeters too
thick, or a couple of millimeters too thin. Just watch someone who knows what they are
doing, and learn something.

Do I sound snarky? I don't like thinking so. But posts come up over and over about how the
neck on this year class of guitar is not like the neck on some other year class, and about how
hard that is to get over. Myself, I have taught a number of lovely young aspirants how to play
bass with never a thought for the shape of the neck. I show them the function of the thumb
as a pivot, and then they know they can play a 34" scale with no worries about the size of
their beautiful hands. Watch Tal Wilkenfeld as confirmation of this. It's all heart, and soul...
the shape of the neck and the size of your hand are only small influences on the tone and
the shape of the performance.
