Women on Bass

MINA is amazingly skilled and her videos were definitely an inspiration for me to pick up a bass.

Very nice!

Listening to the new album by The Warning (Three sisters from Mexico who are awesome). Alejandra Villarreal on bass. Thinking they went from this:

To this in 7 years.

They rule. It’s been fun to see them evolve.

Ale just had her 18 birthday over the weekend. Makes me feel old

Being obsessed with Lizzo this week I started looking into her bassist, Zuri Appleby.

I have been watching her slap.
She makes it seem like she is barely moving and plays so damn clean.
Turns out she served as a Marine and was scouted for the USMC band.
She’s been touring/playing with Lizzo now for about 2 years.

holy crap, she gives lessons for…get this…$65/hour.
at least around here, that is a bargain with a dope, let alone Lizzo’s bassist
