that is cool!

I have some bass lesson DVDs from Carol Kaye. She was part of that bunch although she claims that they were never "The Wrecking Crew" during the time. She says that name came later.

Carol is quite a character, I visit her forums now and then. She knows it all and any method other than hers is wrong and she will go out of her way to let you know that. She is a good bass player and teacher, and she was playing at the time when electric bass was new so there were no "rules" yet. She had to develop her own methods and style to create the sound they were looking for.

She's really an interesting woman, but her personality also makes it difficult to want to be around her.

Just as an example, when you order one of her DVDs you get pages and pages of photocopied info about her. Magazine reviews, stories etc. You also get pages of photocopies of her log books from the 60's that shows her studio dates and songs she worked on. She deserves respect for what she's done, but its hard to give that to her because she demands it right up front.

Thats right . . . if she was as totally awesome at being humble like we obviously are, she'd be a much more pleasant person.

Nah, but really, she is one abrasive gal. I was going to point you toward her forums, but you have to be a member to even read them.
