    Carole Kaye on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

    Of course the team Kaye didn't play left handed, and I don't think bands of the era regularly had a double bass and an electric bass, but it's pretty cool they are making Kaye a character on the show like they did with Lenny Bruce.

    What do Cliff Burton, Carol Kaye, and Robert Trujillo have in common?

    I was looking for some sheet music the other day, and keyed the words 'bass player' into the search engine. This was the first thing that popped up. I thought it was cool and wanted to share. I love them all and their music, so *please* no bashing/who's best/etc...

    Carol Kaye pre basses from the '50s & '60s

    Being a big Carol Kaye fan it really kills me that there are a number of her pre basses out there, but we don't seem to know which ones she owned. She did not like to change strings so every two years or so she would stop into LA music shops and get a new bass. She was on about 10,000...

    Les Paul with Carol Kaye on bass (circa 2000)

    I can't find this already posted. And not sure if it belongs under Recordings. Or Bassists. Anywho this is a cool video. Skip to about 2:50 if you only want to see CK playing.

    Who Hit The Wrong Note In Unchained Melody?

    I'm aware that Phil Spector produced this legendary Righteous Brothers song, and I'm pretty sure he used "The Wrecking Crew" for studio musicians when this was cut in March of 1965. Most bassists are aware of a wrong note at 2:15 of the track (see video below for reference). Bassist hits a G...

    Kaye Bass Lines 1 - 6

    I'm just starting into the full set of Carol Kaye's "Electric Bass Lines" No. 1 (1969) -- 6 (1980) that I picked up on eBay last week for not much dinero. I feel like I scored a big piece of bass guitar history! There is no tab anywhere; every note is shown in conventional notation. I assume...

    Silly Ibanez / Carol Kaye Comment/Question

    Dont you think that if you were a large company, such as Ibanez, and you had a bass legend, such as Carol Kaye, endorsing your basses, you'd make a decent looking string dampener so she wouldn't have to use tape and toilet paper or whatever it is she uses to dampen her strings?

    Brian Wilson/Carol Kaye

    Over the weekend I watched the movie Love and Mercy. In one scene Brian Wilson and Carol Kaye are talking about the bass track on a song. She asks him about a part where she is going to play one bass line on the electric and another person is going to play a different bass line on the upright...

    Carol Kaye FB site

    I've been really enjoying her posts. Lots of great stuff about all sorts of different sessions and folks she worked with as part of an amalgam of independent studio musicians. She appears to imply that this large collection of independent contractors was never called The Wrecking Crew, despite...
