Ellen started playing bass in April 2020. This video was uploaded in August 2021. Gives me hope for my short pinky.

Have any of you played Rush songs with the more face melting basslines?

I am amazed at the young prodigies abounding in todays world. For a young girl in the guitar world, check out Yo-Yo

I will also point out that I have been trying to nail this bass line for weeks with mixed success and she absolutely smashed it out of the ball park :flushed:

I remember when I saw Metallica live in Berlin shortly after he joined. I was so used to the look of Jason Newsted, that this „walk“ through me off totally.

First impression with that bass nearly scraping on the floor was „gorilla meets Rumpelstiltskin“ :rofl:

Jason was my favourite, I never got to see them live so it will always bother me I’ll never get to see him play!
