best bass player

[Flaxxakit]

les claypool has got a strange new look

[tornmask1]

amazing full power bass play'n & vocals by ms. Basslda, cheers! x0]

[monkeybass01]

Yeah she's totally rocking out, great bass player.  There is no 'best' bass player, no matter how many Richard Bonas the world has to offer.

[nmeyer1001]

Tal Wilkenfield is better.

[TheSRalston]

"get da funk outta ma face!....and place yo ass on it..."

[nikklazz]

But....shouldn't she like.....be making me a sandwich or something? Who let her out from the kitchen..

[KeepOutofTreble]

@nikklazz Wow! You're so funny and creative! Never heard that one before!

[nikklazz]

@KeepOutofTreble I know, right? I stayed up writing that..thank you soo much for liking it!!!!!

[KeepOutofTreble]

@nikklazz LOL! Ever heard of sarcasm? Look it up.

[nikklazz]

@KeepOutofTreble Okaaaaayyy...YOU do that and then read what I wrote again....exactly hoe serious do you think I was? Wow...

[KeepOutofTreble]

@nikklazz Wow, indeed. LOL! You're funny.

[circleseverywhere]

pluck it

[markdlowe]

Think Lydia is a more musical player

[7500ashton]

nicht gut

[HAYDS510]

she must be tiny because that bass looks huge on her.

[Jamsessionroom1337]

Title should be "average girl, playing average rhythmic slap"

[YayhooTube]

Maybe the ugliest, but certainly not the best.

[lowendgenerator1]

Where's the rest of the video? This song is a JAM!

[SHARPsUnite]

Maybe not the best, but that was a great solo!

[vzsozs]

WHERE IS MY SANDWICH??????????

[69thewatchersees]

Prince must think she is good. He dont play with hackers!! Being pretty of course did not hurt either. LOL

[ef58jnr]

I luv her!!!

[MrFender2525]

OK..if you're trying to compare women bassist..look no farther than Tal...There's absolutely no one better..

[edgarpoefan]

@MrFender2525 What about Esperanza Spading? =.=

[RedBarchettehx]

Anyone heard Julie Slick with Adrian Belew? Slick is Sick! Especially live.

[MrFender2525]

Best Bass player?...C'mon..everyone knows Tal's the best bass player on the planet...ask Jeff Beck..

[JumboStevo]

fuck you haters, that was raw!!!!!

[ikecot3]

BEST BASS PLAYER IN WHOS WORLD???



[xXRASHEEDXx]

oh common i bet you NO ONE here has heard to thaddeus tribbett or justin raines .. those are some beasts ..

[zarchtheassassin]

She's good, but not Les Claypool- or Ryan Martinie-good.

[SALOMON1DAVID]

VEAN A LYDIA! ESA SI TOCA!

[UCAapocalypse]

[danzreggae]

@UCAapocalypse u dont knw wot ur talkng bwt.not many chicks cn du triplets.shes rite up thr nd she sings.

[bejerama]

@UCAapocalypse FALSE!

[DerekYeray]

this is the wooten's breakfast every day

[abcde1454]

flea is better

[WayneStandsUp]

That's a Great Dane!



[bassmanjoe]

No one is the best, just remember that. Just appreciate all players for different reasons. But yeah i dig her alot, very cool!!!

[HoileeUK]

@monkeyman2812 shed rip your cock off lol

[nosemug]

not the best but she sure knows how to use her weapon. fuckin clean!

[TheBside1111]

nobody is the best and nobody is the worst because no bass player is exactly the same as another therefore you can't truly compare, and also it's all subjective. So...nobody is the best, and nobody is the worst.

[karizma8175]

@TheBside1111 Big Brother is happy with you for not having an opinion

[jankoslak]

@TheBside1111 no no no. i think you don't understand. this is the best bass player in the world

[Marpioseheh]

I love you

[PH4NT0M71]

no the bes bass player is Flea

[xXRedrogOXx]

8=======D O= oh wait.....

[XxConcreteAssassinxX]

I think you'll find Cliff Burton was the best bassist ever xD

[bejerama]

@XxConcreteAssassinxX WTF?!

[adamDSK]

certainly not the best but very good

[Mick80200]

but but but... that's not the kitchen :O

definately not the best bass player

gosh stop giving these videos stupid titles like that ok ?

[SjamanFunk]

@Mick80200 She is Prince's bass player these days so title best bass player suits here very well...prince only hire the best of the best....

[entraildivider]

Exactly! Whoever wrote this hasn't seen many bass players!

[sublime88sublime]

holy shit she killed it

[Zornob]

Geddy Lee from Rush is the best bass player in the world.

[sweathogsparky]

@Zornob hahahahahahahaha

[TheCapitanvasco]

O_O

[kcnittel]

I guess this is Bassida, bass player in Prince's band.

[MegaScreamingbanshee]

women bass players are sexy.

[krelbar]

@MegaScreamingbanshee When they put down the bass and sit on yo face.

[daltonauto]

@MegaScreamingbanshee  I don't think getting a handjob from her is very pleasant.

[HitPointHD]

Fender Jazz American Deluxe ?

[petchza2000]

โหดวะ

[venkymusicmind]

hey great ....mail id required of the bass player for concert ......shows ...contact venky201060@yahoo.com

[RicoDimitri]

this got fucking style.

[lighteningboy]

@monkeyman2812 Epic comment man, fuckin EPIC!

[Pr0nkie]

@HebapepGuy

hahaha:D i like that one xD

but no there not.

and i don't like when someone slab my .... like that

[2000Friedi]

I think T.M. Stevens is a better bass player

[FreaxUnleashed]

SWEET! Must be her passion or something... XD But that's soooo pro man.

[TTibble]

@monkeyman2812

dont get your hopes up, she'd probably be a better lesbian

[9Aapjes]

@monkeyman2812 ah come on dont be such a perv

[1skullduggery]

shes no danny partridge, but still cool...

[AldoAraujo94]

con esta mina me caso!

[bigtamrocks]

She's a great bass player. Would be great to see her and her band live. And for goodness sake would everyone leav old monkeyman2812 alone. He posted a dodgy comment many moons ago and sounds chilled out now...forgiveness! ;-)

[Hertsman50]

she is not even in the top 5000 best players but I enjoyed her performance.

[Korayerdem18]

@Hertsman50 im in top 10000

[Kierstinjade123]

She's not the best just sayin that 'cause she's a girl aha but still better than me. ;D.

[dabadubab]

she'san amazing musician. Bass player and singer and the point is the way she stays on the stage.

[Pr0nkie]

@monkeyman2812

jeah she wil slab your .... like she slabs her bass

[TransAmFTW]

omg im seriously tired of yall saying shes not that good dude just cuz its not like fast or she didnt do alot doesnt mean anything a good player doesnt need to fit as much as they can into a little rif but knows how to execute it right with the right type of song more isnt always better that was a good job

[Aussiesto]

@monkeyman2812 god, you are pathetic, i swear! Why can't men accept that women can play instruments just as well as you single minded, two dimensional and genetically faulty losers?! :)

[68django]

@Aussiesto Hey, don't put me in a category with that moron, some of us just like to hear good music...You're just as bad when you generalize all men as being like this pile of shit!

[gepelica]

@monkeyman2812

She woul probably slap your dick....

[barhocker18]

her playin is quite good but nothing REALLY special, though. There are so many bassplayers who are better

[Mechavrore]

She does have a great performance and she's good, but I wouldn't say the best

[MatTtackable]

I find it so frustrating how many people are quick to say, "OMG BASS PRODIGY FEMALE PLAYING BASS."

Yes I'll admit she's good, but I've seen guys play at this level of skill or even better, and don't nearly get the amount of coverage this chick gets. It's such a double standard and it's very frustrating.

[MatTtackable]

@monkeyman2812 No you don't dude. You have any idea what happens to a person's hands when they play stringed instruments? Their fingers get all hard, rough, and callused. I bet that'll feel wonderful on the tip of your sensitive cock.

No thanks.

[proxyflamer]

@luap1236 :) i also agree

[Bluesub6]

There are definitely a shitload of bassists better than this. You're all only interested in her tits. She's not that good.

[Frisbieinstein]

@Bluesub6

I been playing bass 40 years and I say she's dynamite with slap. Never heard better. Grooves like a loaded cement mixer.

It's Denmark's Ida Funkhauser.

[DeathMetalSavior]

@Frisbieinstein You haven't listened to the right music.

[madmaxx1977]

she sucks

[TheSonsofHorusx]

she prolly gives crazy hand jobs lol jk

[nanakipenkiller]

What's her name?

I've seen her in a few vids. and she's really amazing...

[animewisher]

how the hell are these comments popping up? this is 1:a CHICK PLAYING BASS! 2:slap is one of the hardest styles to play, and 3: shes got major skills. iv been playing for years, and i thought i was good till i heard this!

[jallis12]

and u can tell who all the talentless bassists are. the ones who cant tell that shes not playing fast at all and she is actually holding a groove.

[jallis12]

i hated slap and used to hate slap players....when my skill level was reallly low.

[CliffBurton11]

Marcus Miller woman

[bassistXmetal]

i wish the fret board was my dick

[dhadleyray]

I guess sex matters more than musicality..

but, then again, it always has..

[TheJuicer1414]

gay

[ironmanboy]

She has recently been playing with Prince. I think.

[mlink1801]

i have been playing bass for 7 years been on stage for 5 of those and this slap crap popping stuff dose nothing for me blues with a little funk ya now were talking, if this is the what music we have to look forward to im scard as hell.

[pretorious700]

This is what people think bass playing is now. No substance, melody, or swing.

[majomanak]

@pretorious700 what ???? if you don´t her melody in this you are not musician... this women is great musician and she has got great skills..

[JewFroProducti0ns]

CLIFF BURTON AND MARK KING

[mattmit]

@luap1236

I totally agree with you, to be a great musician is to know how your role supports the music and the song, not how many notes you can play per second.

[ninofunk]

toca muy bien... como se llama?? donde puedo ver un tema entero??

[jimmymac63]

@luap1236 As a person who has been drumming since about the same time, I can say that I loved partnering up with my rhythm buddies, especially if they were like this bassist. Not only holding great time, but expressing themselves to the max. It was even funner when we were able to play off of each other. THAT is when a bassists is truly a bassist!

[DattaGroover]

@jimmymac63 Got that right.

[mads1072]

@luao 236:

Well, she plays in Prince's band now, so....

[kareldekrakel]

wow... just wow :O

[yochilders]

i'v got full on twinges watching this

[Budowski1]

Sejt.

[klintrimus]

nice solo, but I really don't understand why the title says "best bass player"?

[saumonnn]

@klintrimus to get more views ? ...

[asifineededaname]

@Dubconferencedotorg why not ? i guess you prefer to have them at home barefoot and pregnant ?

[Dubconferencedotorg]

@asifineededaname

well .. pregnant women are somehow needed ;) 

[Okonkole237]

@luap1236 I dont see (or hear) anything of what you said in this particular video.

No one is being athlete or over speeding. its just a funky bass line man, i dont see anything wrong about it. I would understand if you said so about some other videos, but this is music, and that bass is being played properly.

[strongisle22]

Mick Grondahl is my pick for best. I'm sure there are a thousand ligitimate reasons people would disagree with me (and they will), but what he brought to the table and how he could hang with a musical genius like Jeff Buckley is quite impressive. When i say he's the best, I mean to my own ears. I'm not stating this as fact :)

[diamonddust22]

She can slap my bass clef anytime

[AFIEBHC]

sweeeeeeeeeeeet x

[HrapovikPlush]

She is very talented and it's good to see a woman jam out like that, but she is far from being the best.

[3DEC3]

Is that a short scale bass? Even if it is, the instrument is humongous on her.

[stee5lers]

she rockin that marcus bass?

[DuxJerome]

oh, here we go again with who's the best bassplayer.

There is no such thing as the "the best bassplayer".

Its what you think, but its never a fact.

[pedrico33]

Trouble is, most of what she is playing is bullshit ...

[jazzflea]

gerat player but best is too strong! maybe even ridiculous! even she would blush hearing this rubbish claim!

[quebop]

I guess you never heard of Jack Bruce !!!

[plangentmusic]

@luap1236 Agreed. I call it "music store chops." Stuff meant to dazzle for 12 seconds. Jamerson, McCartney and Squire are all excellent examples of great bass "composers. And Bach. : )

[matanbendak]

@luap1236 i think you are 100% right!

many people these days are searching for speed.. nothing to do with emotion..

it ruines the meaning of music!

try to check how many views there are to "the fastest guitarist" and how many to "the one who plays guitar the most beatiful"

if you havent found the second person i guess its because no one will upload a video with this name cause no one will watch it.

I hope people will understand again what music means...

for many people. it means everything

[peppersa1]

she takes too much on her-self but make normally ; ) sexy girl

[mariafuentes08]

thats a big bass haha

[trynuxxx]

When did jaco died??

DUDE HIS SOUL STILL ALIVE IN ALL BASSPLAYERS HEARTS

AND YEAH THAT GIRL ROCKS THERE'S NO DOUBT

LETS STOP COMPARING

SHE HAS HER OWN STYLE BRO

WHEN YOU CAN LIKE GO TO A CONCERT AND SEE A GIRL GIVING THIS BASS SOLO ? pfff common

[ScreamingBloodyGore]

Very far from the best bass player.  Victor wooten blows her out of the water on a funk style. On a technicality style, Alex Webster has her beat, too.

[vincecilli]

Gr8!

[basskillaz]

@ThorGodofThunder10 yea but im diggin that right tit!

[burlingamevideos]

sick

[mosquitofeliz]

that proves that women can play an instrument too, and kick asses

[anarchiaeth]

Who would agree that this reminds me of Les Claypool? Just sayin'.

[9reasy5am]

pretty cool, but it's like she's playing slap guitar, not bass, to me.

[superpunk1998]

That is so kool!

[ankeponken]

whaaat!!!?!????!?!!! is the bass realy big or is she realy small?

[BassistGab91]

omg!.. can i have private lessons? ;)

[ddboris]

wow......

do you give lessons?

[politico222]

Guaauu!!

[muzikjedi]

Go on and do it girl!

[HandiAce]

I hear Les Claypool influences.

[newoaklandlocal]

no where near the best, it's a simple bass slap....but still really good...especially with the singing

[lollygaggin42]

dig.

[Splodgo]

Pretty good. Hope to see a longer clip next time. Perhaps showing finger picking too? :-)

[colombian12345678910]

awesome but not the best

[jcha]

i dig this!

[zmoney682]

jesus christ.

[wexarexthexStorm]

THAT WAS FUCKIN AWESOME

[mAuIsDiSc]

Not the best by a long shot.

[rockwellumrocks2]

@mAuIsDiSc You do know that whenever someone says "best _____", they're exaggerating, right?

[majnjord]

She's got da funk! :D

[yaaaaaaa707]

thats hot.

[2112dim]

She's got balls!

[manchapan]

bass orgasm lol

[Jack1685]

tal wilkenfeld, best girl bassist

[jimiubass3]

Have you checked out Esparanza Spaulding?

[bemolable]

She`s better than TAL

[aek921]

pervert

[anticoolsociety]

Well she is good... I would slap bass with her all night.

[GH3PlayerShadow]

Great playing , but surely not the best bass player: Jaco RIP , Victor.W ,Flea ,Steve Harris , Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke , James Jamerson , and James Brown bassists crew, with alot others.

But good playing =D keep it up.

[catnip4life56]

not Victor. W

[victortubez]

You forgot Krist :)))

[memcu101]

Jaco Died?!?!?!?! SHIT!!!!!!

[abebass90]

mmmm... sweet!!!

[zairuku]

Funky jazz stuff is becoming quite an accuired taste, but most people think it to be just trumpets, tell me when some able person comes in on bass its not nice sounding ^_^

[matrags]

A good point well made.

[XplosivX]

very true. It's like the only way a musician can reach a level of greatness to some people is by how fast they can play. I love slap bass playing but to some people its the beginning and end of bass playing because its so upfront and in your face unlike something more melodic and laid back.

[babacool81]

Couldnt agree more...

[favorfav]

This definately not the 'best bass player' now, then or ever. She is very good, though.

[LestatHalloween]

marry me!
