Just in case any of y'all mistakenly thought that I invented any of this solo bass stuff, here's the first solo bass performance I ever saw. It's from 1986, on a brilliant UK music show called The Tube.
Gail Ann Dorsey wasn't the first either, obviously, but this was the first time I'd ever seen anyone playing bass without any other instruments. She sounds incredible.
She's in the UK next week, playing bass and singing with the sublimely awesome Jonatha Brooke - click here for tour dates. DON'T miss them.
