She's tiny... I like that. :wink:
Still, I quit. She got so good in just four years... I wish I could play a solo that smooth. I don't play that style of music, but still, it'd be nice to do.

Well, to misquote Samuel Johnson, my belief (with tongue firmly planted in my cheek) is that a woman playing bass is sort of like a dog walking on his hind legs - it is not done well, yet one is amazed to see it done at all. :wink:

She obviously has a lot of talent. But I don't care for that tone at all. Too fingertip and rubbery for me.
Ya ... what he said ...
