Mohini Dey killin it at the SIT booth, 2019 NAMM

[@7deepbreaths.sounds]

I will never understand how a bassist my age...could not be impressed by the woman's performance. Her timing and technique is soooo on point. I don't understand how anyone could conclude that this lady's playing is "too busy" ... No...she is, shall I say... melodically prolific.I would've LOVED to have played with a bassist so harmonically aware and phrase conscious as Mohini.

[@K.J.734]

I know that you texted this almost a year ago but I read it just now & I have to say that I agree with you 💯 on this. Can you imagine a bassist saying, I don't like Jaco, he's just 'too busy'? 🤟🎯

[@HiroForever]

I believe she’s talented. But reminds me of when I sat next to my cousin on the piano bench as she played something incredibly impressive. I said ‘Candy, OMG you are SO talented!’ Her response was ‘no honey. I’m TRAINED.’ If you listen to Mohini describe her upbringing, her training and practicing sounds comparable to a child who starts at 3 preparing for the Olympics and trains night and day…. Eat drinks breathes sweats training. She’s worked incredibly hard, but at the same time I bet she never thought of it AS work and because she had no other reality to compare it to, just thought it was normal?

[@echoflame4279]

All the people saying she's mindlessly shredding for attention and no emotion obviously don't understand the things she's doing and techniques she's using just to contradict that. If you watched the whole video, she doesn't just go blazing fast with no emotion...she is both speeding up and slowing down progressively according to the varying emotions and tempos of each track she plays. There's clearly plenty of funk in what she's playing, but you have to keep in mind her tendency to get very passionate and progressive. All these people saying "I've been playing bass for years and I just KNOW she's not a TRUE bassist!"....just fuck off. If you know anything about the varying styles of jazz and funk and how some music is allowed to have their own choice of tempo at times (especially in this case, where she still focuses on using down-tempo during certain phases to give space and contrast to her tendency to get straight-up WILD with it)....then show me what is wrong with any of that? Nothing. She is letting her passion and skills take everyone on a ride, passionate and fast, or slow and sexy....she has literally played both here to please all types in the crowd, so half of your arguments are null and void. You're probably here to subconciously vent your frustrations towards a woman that has more creativity and knowledge of music theory on a bass than you 50-year old men who play basic-ass jazz music at country clubs and have outdated conservative views on how bass 'NEEDS' to be played. I bet none of you have ever heard of Victor Wooten and it shows lol

[@bobf5360]

Thank you! Nice summary.I'll just say "ditto".

[@echoflame4279]

Obviously you missed my main point. Sure, my supplementary point at the end was just thrown in there to sum up a number of people commenting on this, but you made it seem like this is JUST about jealousy.....when it is not. I'm talking about this exact kind of toxicity in the music scene where people believe that "it's just a few gimmicks", "you'll see this specific kind of talent everywhere on KZbin" (which by the way, you won't.) Unless you have an archive full of 20-year old girls shredding on a BASS guitar like this everywhere you look (when most videos are normally male jazz guitar players with time to record themselves onto KZbin doing their best take)--then I'd stop with this mentality that actually turns people away from wanting to stand out as musicians in the first place. Everything she did was so skilled and on point while she passionately played her heart out to everyone. What kind of ridiculous and unnecessary expectations do you have to see someone like this play and then proceed to say it's nothing special or you've seen better? Music is music, and all you're doing is sounding like a bunch of ungrateful spoiled kids. "Nothing special" my ass. How about actually giving constructive criticism (if you have any) at the very least, while simaltaniously encouraging her current skills that have clearly been shown (unless you are deaf and blind or simply not a musician). If you can't at least do that, you are the problem in this scene.

[@echoflame4279]

@Al Bundy If you could stop treating me like some defensive idiot that needs to "get over it"....there's just no talking sense into you, and I'm starting to see where you stand now. I've been reasonable here, and you are swearing by your life that she's not reaching 'the bar' because you dig up a video of a 10-year old kid who probably got tons of views as a prodigy on bass (prodigy would be the only way to explain it in this case, because most 10 year olds just could not reach this skill level realistically without constant uninterrupted practice). Don't get me wrong, kudos for the kid if you can find the video you're describing for me, because I'd give him just the same support.....But still, that shouldn't discredit someone else entirely that is still at a very high skill level, especially for a female bassist (it takes a lot of finger strength and stamina to pull of what she's been doing for minutes on end) who's only flaw was getting reasonably tired out at times and muffling some notes in the process. I would agree with some people that she gets a bit too finger happy at times for what she can 100% handle. This is all basically the same as saying "Eh, you're not really THAT great because some Asian kid I saw on KZbin is so much better". Which is pretty rude to say to someone who worked hard enough to simply play what they've made for fans of music. Just being honest here-- you would not say that to anyone in person or you'd be immediately seen as a stuck up dick in public who doesn't appreciate the music itself, only obsurd talent. Again, that's not the mentality anyone who takes music seriously should keep if they don't want to become bitter with everything they hear, even if it's actually good from a musical and technical standpoint. It doesn't always have to be "the best" to you, just as long as it sounds good and the passion is there. My overall point is that's not the attitude to have in the music scene and you're completely basing your opinions soley on the vast amount of music posted on KZbin and social media (clearly unrealistic). In turn, that's making everything seem like a worldwide pissing contest to you instead of actually appreciating and giving legitimate feedback to musicians that do what they can out of passion for what they love to do. Legitimate feedback does not include basically saying "You still don't reach the bar standard because there's tons of musicians you don't even know on KZbin that are clearly better than you." That tells them nothing even if you wanted to see a musician become, well, a BETTER MUSICIAN. Of course there's inevitably gonna be a few people on the worldwide web way better than you even if you're an expert at what you do, but carrying around these unrealistic expectations and believing them to be the bar standard without developing actual constructive crticism will consequently do nothing for anyone. Sorry to say.

[@caretakerofearth5050]

Shut the fuck up you act like you know it all..i bet your white huh

[@echoflame4279]

@Al Bundy At this point you don't even understand what I've been saying. If you did you'd know that it's not "what I say goes" its just common sense if you were to actually think about what I'm saying instead of constantly pulling some kind of assumption like that out of paragraphs of information you can't even bother to read. I'm coming at this argument reasonably about how this mentality is toxic to the music scene, yet you're hypocritically the one who's wanting to state "the bar standard' based on people's highlights on social media....wow. That expectation is unrealistic no matter what angle you play from, and if you still don't get my point I'm not gonna waste my time explaining to someone who ignores all of my points just to make childish assumptions like "what I say goes". That is a childish mentality and I'm simply using what actually makes sense and what has even been debated in the music scene already. Honestly with everything that you've been saying to me I could say about the same thing about your opinion not being the end-all be-all for every musician based on unrealistic standards you believe. I only hope you don't toxify the music scene with this bullshit and treat musicians with appreciation and respect while actually giving legit FEEDBACK....something you have still yet to do that shows you're not taking any of this seriously.

..This 24 yrs old Mumbaiker has been on hype for the past few years with her bass playing abilities carrying this art which often remains underated to shadow of other guitars on lead to an extra heights attracting even the great guitarist Steve Vai and others in the scene... To me it looks her creation is whole of an improvised bass playing on the beats of Indian percussion instruments like the Tabla, Dholak, Mridangam and thus has earned her a place which sounds unique to the western listeners who are used to the way bass line has long been played....

Amazingly beautiful top notch bass player too I thought I was a good bass player until now keep up the good work

[@richardgray7310]

She is truly a new form of bass player. An amazing talent. She was groomed from birth by her father. He did a great job. That said I do have to say her style is not my cup of tea. Amazing lead bass, but not groove oriented. I am a child of the old school Detroit R&B, Motown, and some of the real funky early rock/fusion bands. Like to hear her play some Tower of Power or Average White Band grooves. Not hating, I love her. I work 70 gigs a year supporting my fellow musicians as the heart beat and back beat of the songs. We do 30-40 songs a night I get maybe 2 solos. LOL Still all hale Mohini, she is the best at what she does.

[@GuitarUniverse2013]

You can’t judge a players entire ability by a few minutes of NAMM playing. Everyone at these events gets carried away with playing as fast as they can. It brings out the competitiveness in people & the more notes played the bigger the crowd gets. It’s true of all instruments. The guitarists do it, the drummers do it, everyone does it. This girl will make a living from playing bass if she’s easy to get along with which is half the battle. Half chops, half personality. I myself really enjoy watching her play. Don’t complain & say she’s been doing the same thing as 2 years ago because guess what? So are you!
