Let's Hear it for the Bass

A thread honoring the instrument and the musicians.
No matter the genre, I always think of the bass as
being the backbone of musics body.
All bass related video links, views and content welcome.

Mohini Dey! Mind-blowing but tedious technique? [youtube]MIgDO-vaJls[/youtube]

I'd linked to this one already years ago, when I first found it. So nice...

Not for me this one. Amazing technique, wtf, but there is no groove here. I think she should maybe drop the Bass and pick up a guitar.

Plus, there is a trend it seems for female musicians and singers to wear less and less clothes, some of the pop singers gyrate on the stage in a manner that you would only see in a titty bar a generation ago.

Now I am the last one not to enjoy looking at a beautiful woman, but do they need to do it just to get a few more clicks? I don't know, the music should be enough.

Having said all that, music and performance art is all about taste and opinion, right? Peace :W

I recently bought a bass guitar to support a fledgling band. It died and nothing else has come forward. Bought a Fender 50W bass amp too. What should I do? I can do 3 chord blues n rock n roll, any offers? <3<3

Ok, this is Hadrien Feraud with the incredible Cory Henry and groovy Ronald Bruner Jr) but this is so tasty to hear them taking a Police's song and bring it to us like this and It's focus on bass because it's from a bass YT chanel

I spent time with Ellen and her Dad last January and they are the sweetest people. I grabbed some video of her noodling while her Dad was setting up his guitar, it's on social media somewhere, but that girl is going places!
