Hi Guys,
Thank you for all the kind thoughts! They are very much appreciated, thank you!
One of the coolest and nicest things about the Alembic online community, the concern and caring about the members by the members. Sweet!
Back on topic (kinda).
I remember a girl Epic owner from Montreal, (I think it was), named Bonnie, (I think), that posted a few times here, but it has been awhile.
Back off topic.
I do find it interesting though the definite disproportion of male to female bassists out there 'in the world'. I know locally to me there are a few I'm aware of, (even an upright soloist, Wow!) but comparatively it's hundreds (or likely more) to one, male to female. I wonder why? Bass was/is and always has been a natural 'calling' to me. Very interesting. Insert puzzled expression emoticon.
Granted I've heard the physical size of a bass can be intimidating, but with a couple of female students I've had, it's all been a matter of experience with 'hands on' to get over the size issue. Hmmm....risque/bad joke/double entendre etc potential/opportunity. Never mind.
Seriously, I'm in contact with female bassists literally all around the world, but there still exists this very real disproportionate male to female ratio. I just don't get it. Insert thoughtful expression emoticon.
Nuff of this.
Wandering off shaking my head and muttering.
Best Regards to Everyone,
Kimberly
