Maybe that explains it…, I’m a female bass player and it came so easily for me, almost effortless. I remembered and ex-rocker who just couldn’t pick up a bass line, well, I learned bass a couple of years later and as a new player, almost effortlessly learned it. I tend to discount myself as a female, as men have typically been the guitar/ bass players, but it gives me encouragement to know that maybe I have a lot more potential for continued growth than I realized. I think the huge strings scare women away, but it’s way easier on my fingers than playing acoustic guitar the same amount of time. I can play 2 hour nonstop sets without blisters.

Great to hear there is a future for girls. My daughter has just started DB at Guildhall in London and I am struggling for striking female role models as you would find in Cello. Sounds like that will change.
Great to read your article.

Ever heard of Carol Kaye? She played electric bass on just about every hit recorded in LA between 1960 and 1975(Stevie Wonder,Supremes,Beach Boys,Quincy Jones soundtrack stuff etc.Besides literally writing the book on electric bass she also played guitar on many hit records. So, there is no question females can play bass. However the idea that they are better or worse is silly. I have had 1000’s of students here in LA over the years and have not observed any difference in musical ability.
