    Julia there are so many bass players here in the USA that can't play Larry Graham's songs because they can't master his style and you do it like you've been playing for 40yrs UNBELIEVABLE!

    To answer questions about Julia and her equipment. Julia is Polish.
    Hi everyone! My name is Julia, I'm 18 year old self-taught bass player. I play bass since December 2013.
    I'm self-taught, I learned how to play from various tutorials on internet.
    My gear: -Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. Ray4 -Zoom B3 (interface and effects)
    Q: Whats program do you use for record the bass sound?
    A: I use Audacity
    Q: How do u record with such an amazing sound ?
    A: I plug in bass to interface audio, then i record it in DAW software
    Q: Are you using an amp before connecting to your interface?
    A: I plug the bass straight to interface and then I add a little bit of compression in Audacity :)
    Q: Good Sound!! the bass original or replaced mic/ electronics?
    A: Everything is original :) (Except the strings) Q: which strings / sizes do you play?
    A: DR Hi-Beams 40-100
    Q: What do you use as software to superimpose audio and video?
    A: I use Sony Vegas Pro :)
    Thanks for watching my videos!
    I don't take requests! :)

    Julia, you are a true bass Goddes!!!
    It's just fantastic to see and hear you play.
    Especially at your young age!
    You just have what it takes!
    The feel, the techniques, the groove!!
    And off course the great sounds you are getting from the SUB.
    I now own the exact same one and am very happy with it.
    Thinks it sounds even more like the old pre- Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray basses do than the modern Stingrays.
    Absolutely love it.
    So I have to thank you, because its you and your playing that convinced me I had to buy a black SUB Ray 4
    Hope to see many more of your videos in the future.
    Especially some slap songs.
    Cheers from Holland,
    Bert

    Julia, your doing really well. As someone who has been at it for over 47 years, I can only suggest that you listen to a large variety of different music and different types of bass lines. This way you can become good at many different ways of doing things as a bass player. Much continued success to you.

      Even 30 minutes every day for four years would get the same result with any human being. My guess is she did more than that, but this is not an advanced slap riff, so you should be able to play this after four years fairly consistent playing.
      That said, great playalong, great sound and technique. Nice one.
