I grew up in LA and got into guitar and bass in my teens. My dad said to me one day, “I found someone very special I want you to have a lesson with - her name is Carol Kaye.” I had no idea who she was back then, but I can still remember going over to her house and comping to standards in her dining room like it was no big deal. I was trying out for eighth-grade jazz band on guitar and she was willing to switch instruments to teach me. Such a phenomenal teacher, then come to find out she’s one of the greatest bass players of all time. Much love and respect to a legend ❤

You are right, musicians should not be referred to by gender. But for now men, especially white men, are still controlling many narratives and inspiring female role models still need to be highlighted. They should just be mixed in, but in general they aren't. Look at the most watched channels re e-instruments like guitar or bass, the majority will be male. Even some women amongst each other still think that playing instruments like e-guitar, bass or drums are "unfeminine", unfortunately we still have a long way to go. So I am glad some guys' channels are supporting women until it isn't needed any longer.

@@dicknastee1652 I don t disagree on Eno and their later works, but Eno did not produce 1977 for example and Eno has nothing to do with Tom Tom Club either.

tom cotroneo it’s punk rock. It’s supposed to be simple. Is it in the pocket? Sure. It’s a great song and great band. But the bass line isn’t sublime. If it was a dude playing, say Dee Dee Ramone, would you still say the same thing? Is he in the top 10?

MISA is also great as a part of a band. She can be highly technical, but she never tries to promote her as something special, she prefers to MAKE MUSIC, which requires to be in accord with all the other band members. The same true for all other BAND-MAID girls. Akane is probably the best drummer in rock right now, but she avoids drum solos as much as she can. Her concept is that the drummer must synchronize with the bass, the guitar, and the vocals. She said in an interview, that she hits her cymbals, minding the vocal accents. I find it truly amazing, I've never heard before that a drummer would take particular care to support the vocalist in such a way. And MISA is also a perfect piece of a puzzle clicking together with the other BAND-MAID members. MISA MISA MISA !!! She's a beauty and the beast at the same time...

Some incredible players there, it’s always fascinated me that there seem to be more famous female bass players than lead guitarists; could be any number of reasons for that, I’m not gonna guess 🤷🏼♂️. How blessed are we all that these ladies have added so much to the amazing depth of bass history. Special shout out to fellow Aussie Tal W, so proud to see her career continue to flourish on the world stage. Also, hardcore music trivia nerd here 🙋🏼♂️. So, I saw Meshel live waaaay back in the 90s, the surname is a pseudonym, she herself pronounces it En-dig-ay-oh-chello. It’s not the traditional Swahili pronunciation, but for simplicity it’s what she tends to use to make it easier for everyone. Such a hypnotic performer, one of the great live acts of that time (or any time!) IMO.

My wife is an accomplished jazz guitarist. She said the hardest part about learning an instrument like guitar or bass was that she was entering a “male space”. So much of the language around music is male-dominated, even if unintentionally most of the time. It’s hard for a woman to walk into a guitar or bass shop filled with men widdling away and comparing specs without feeling like an outsider. I agree with Scott that there need to be more female bass players, but part of that is the community making small steps to make new female players feel welcome. I think it would help a lot if we could all shy away from terms like “bass dudes” and “all those guys in New York”. Good vid, by the way 👍
