I ran across this lady's channel while doing a YouTube search on EBMM Sterlings.

I love in her comments on the video where she refers to this particular bassline as "Relentless." Very well described.

Nice job! What I loved about it was her technique and her correct hand positions, nice even tone too. Thanks for sharing this video.

women almost always have perfect hand technique

my bass teacher, she can't understand why I have so much difficulty with my left hand.

I think it's more natural for them.

Ha, never heard this before. I know my had positioning comes from playing stand up bass for years and having to do all those awkward stretches, plus Berklee beating one finger per fret into my head. It certainly took a long time, but has definitely been worth it. It makes economy of motion seem natural.

Splendid! :)

That's the way how to play bass.

Like the bass line too, and this Lady is pretty experienced, that's obvious, she's got educated (professional) playing technique, I have enough semi-pro experience to confirm that!

Not sure is this Sterling or Stingray (can't see the pots), but tone is very raw and firm, ...another confirmation of my theory that Music Man basses with right playing technique sounds equally at any string and any fret! ;)

I love the Steppenwolf cover... while wearing her helmet!

+1 Reminded me of the "The Stig" from Top Gear --> The Stig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I enjoyed all your videos very much. For me there is a lot to be learned watching them. Thanks!

On a side note... Sometimes the tone here can get a little too masculine, please dont run off too soon... just remind us there are ladys on board and we will behave. We are all well mannered... well almost all.... Craig is the only exception :D (That was ment in good fun my friend)
