I will never understand how a bassist my age...could not be impressed by the woman's performance. Her timing and technique is soooo on point. I don't understand how anyone could conclude that this lady's playing is "too busy" ... No...she is, shall I say... melodically prolific.I would've LOVED to have played with a bassist so harmonically aware and phrase conscious as Mohini.
I know that you texted this almost a year ago but I read it just now & I have to say that I agree with you 💯 on this. Can you imagine a bassist saying, I don't like Jaco, he's just 'too busy'? 🤟🎯
I believe she’s talented. But reminds me of when I sat next to my cousin on the piano bench as she played something incredibly impressive. I said ‘Candy, OMG you are SO talented!’ Her response was ‘no honey. I’m TRAINED.’ If you listen to Mohini describe her upbringing, her training and practicing sounds comparable to a child who starts at 3 preparing for the Olympics and trains night and day…. Eat drinks breathes sweats training. She’s worked incredibly hard, but at the same time I bet she never thought of it AS work and because she had no other reality to compare it to, just thought it was normal?
At 53 I thought I’ll take up the bass...bought my bass...practised hard...then....just watched a ridiculous set !! Luv it...that’s what I aspire to...thank you mohini dey, for making my Day!!😊😊🌞
Did I hear since 1960... Pls be my Coach.. I need to play.. if you will pls send me some course at my email.please iamejiofor@gmail.com... Thanks in advance
@Karl Parish...I was in the biz, long ago, ran concerts, worked with or around some megas, I refer to the decade plus ago conver-gence of funk and jazz as FUSION. Seen it done on regular guitars. Absolutely, her technical skills are superb and she smokes many! She has Sitar moves! Rush was such a bass featured band, forget his name. My fav.? Allmand Bros. Bassist, on specific songs. Bob Marley had a pretty dang good bassist as well. How many folks you know that spent some "quality time" with the Whailers? Awesome wood!
I am listening & seeing it but not being able to believe! What I have learnt since last 30 years is waste! Incredible!! Outstanding!!! She is definitely blessed!👍😊
I have played this video many times …and I have to say what draw-dropping talent I have ever heard she has such a connection to her music that transcends reality! … did I say too much?!🤩🎶🥵🙏🤠🎸🥰
Women can do things exceptionally that men have traditionally done. I get that the alien thing is a supportive meme, but she's best appreciated as another human with advanced skill and prowess. That being said, I hope many young girls watch her and realize that their potential is unbounded.

Why is it a bad thing to compare, if anything that makes it better, as if their near or suparssing the individual they describe you as. A compliment is a compliment regardless!
It's a shame that everyone gets a trophy in your world...She's not doing anything that literally 5 million other bassist do nonchalantly. She's actually "muddying the waters" with that attempted fusion/jazz/funk/hip hop/heartless crap...Stop following and learn what the hell you're applying an opinion to... As a musician for 40 years, I've seen firecrackers like her and others fade into existence...Let's see where she is in 5 years or 10 years...
A guitarist, but I've played bass enough to know that she could strangle any of us with her left hand. Don't care what gauge strings she's using, bass strings are physically demanding ....
..This 24 yrs old Mumbaiker has been on hype for the past few years with her bass playing abilities carrying this art which often remains underated to shadow of other guitars on lead to an extra heights attracting even the great guitarist Steve Vai and others in the scene... To me it looks her creation is whole of an improvised bass playing on the beats of Indian percussion instruments like the Tabla, Dholak, Mridangam and thus has earned her a place which sounds unique to the western listeners who are used to the way bass line has long been played.... She is Mohini Dey, a prodigy from the land of noise and chaos..😜😜
@@beautifulvampires777 I see. Well it's not everybody's cup of tea. But I think there's room for every style at the table. She's got an audience, both live, here at NAMM, and online. She's a shedder and it's an attention grabber for many.

She’s playing a type jazz improvisation on jaco style on a whole new level but a style of her own and lotsa of people who are jealous will say there stupid and ignorance and try to put her down and not hear this beautiful music with an open mind
This is highly technical, not that musical. In that sense far from Jaco. People who are not into jazz-fusion music prolly won't get interested because of this. Unlike in the case of Jaco. Each to his own and she will have plenty of fans. Good for her.
@@lawfreefly I'm sorry, but she is messy. Especially if you listen to her slapping. Im not a hater just because I think there are much better players out there, but I do think if you are a pretty girl with some talent, you will get more views than a more talented dude. I've seen it time and time again. Not the girls fault, just so many creepy guys. Again, she is good, but like all of us, room to get better.
All the people saying she's mindlessly shredding for attention and no emotion obviously don't understand the things she's doing and techniques she's using just to contradict that. If you watched the whole video, she doesn't just go blazing fast with no emotion...she is both speeding up and slowing down progressively according to the varying emotions and tempos of each track she plays. There's clearly plenty of funk in what she's playing, but you have to keep in mind her tendency to get very passionate and progressive. All these people saying "I've been playing bass for years and I just KNOW she's not a TRUE bassist!"....just fuck off. If you know anything about the varying styles of jazz and funk and how some music is allowed to have their own choice of tempo at times (especially in this case, where she still focuses on using down-tempo during certain phases to give space and contrast to her tendency to get straight-up WILD with it)....then show me what is wrong with any of that? Nothing. She is letting her passion and skills take everyone on a ride, passionate and fast, or slow and sexy....she has literally played both here to please all types in the crowd, so half of your arguments are null and void. You're probably here to subconciously vent your frustrations towards a woman that has more creativity and knowledge of music theory on a bass than you 50-year old men who play basic-ass jazz music at country clubs and have outdated conservative views on how bass 'NEEDS' to be played. I bet none of you have ever heard of Victor Wooten and it shows lol
Obviously you missed my main point. Sure, my supplementary point at the end was just thrown in there to sum up a number of people commenting on this, but you made it seem like this is JUST about jealousy.....when it is not. I'm talking about this exact kind of toxicity in the music scene where people believe that "it's just a few gimmicks", "you'll see this specific kind of talent everywhere on UA-cam" (which by the way, you won't.) Unless you have an archive full of 20-year old girls shredding on a BASS guitar like this everywhere you look (when most videos are normally male jazz guitar players with time to record themselves onto UA-cam doing their best take)--then I'd stop with this mentality that actually turns people away from wanting to stand out as musicians in the first place. Everything she did was so skilled and on point while she passionately played her heart out to everyone. What kind of ridiculous and unnecessary expectations do you have to see someone like this play and then proceed to say it's nothing special or you've seen better? Music is music, and all you're doing is sounding like a bunch of ungrateful spoiled kids. "Nothing special" my ass. How about actually giving constructive criticism (if you have any) at the very least, while simaltaniously encouraging her current skills that have clearly been shown (unless you are deaf and blind or simply not a musician). If you can't at least do that, you are the problem in this scene.
@Al Bundy If you could stop treating me like some defensive idiot that needs to "get over it"....there's just no talking sense into you, and I'm starting to see where you stand now. I've been reasonable here, and you are swearing by your life that she's not reaching 'the bar' because you dig up a video of a 10-year old kid who probably got tons of views as a prodigy on bass (prodigy would be the only way to explain it in this case, because most 10 year olds just could not reach this skill level realistically without constant uninterrupted practice). Don't get me wrong, kudos for the kid if you can find the video you're describing for me, because I'd give him just the same support.....But still, that shouldn't discredit someone else entirely that is still at a very high skill level, especially for a female bassist (it takes a lot of finger strength and stamina to pull of what she's been doing for minutes on end) who's only flaw was getting reasonably tired out at times and muffling some notes in the process. I would agree with some people that she gets a bit too finger happy at times for what she can 100% handle. This is all basically the same as saying "Eh, you're not really THAT great because some Asian kid I saw on UA-cam is so much better". Which is pretty rude to say to someone who worked hard enough to simply play what they've made for fans of music. Just being honest here-- you would not say that to anyone in person or you'd be immediately seen as a stuck up dick in public who doesn't appreciate the music itself, only obsurd talent. Again, that's not the mentality anyone who takes music seriously should keep if they don't want to become bitter with everything they hear, even if it's actually good from a musical and technical standpoint. It doesn't always have to be "the best" to you, just as long as it sounds good and the passion is there. My overall point is that's not the attitude to have in the music scene and you're completely basing your opinions soley on the vast amount of music posted on UA-cam and social media (clearly unrealistic). In turn, that's making everything seem like a worldwide pissing contest to you instead of actually appreciating and giving legitimate feedback to musicians that do what they can out of passion for what they love to do. Legitimate feedback does not include basically saying "You still don't reach the bar standard because there's tons of musicians you don't even know on UA-cam that are clearly better than you." That tells them nothing even if you wanted to see a musician become, well, a BETTER MUSICIAN. Of course there's inevitably gonna be a few people on the worldwide web way better than you even if you're an expert at what you do, but carrying around these unrealistic expectations and believing them to be the bar standard without developing actual constructive crticism will consequently do nothing for anyone. Sorry to say.
@Al Bundy At this point you don't even understand what I've been saying. If you did you'd know that it's not "what I say goes" its just common sense if you were to actually think about what I'm saying instead of constantly pulling some kind of assumption like that out of paragraphs of information you can't even bother to read. I'm coming at this argument reasonably about how this mentality is toxic to the music scene, yet you're hypocritically the one who's wanting to state "the bar standard' based on people's highlights on social media....wow. That expectation is unrealistic no matter what angle you play from, and if you still don't get my point I'm not gonna waste my time explaining to someone who ignores all of my points just to make childish assumptions like "what I say goes". That is a childish mentality and I'm simply using what actually makes sense and what has even been debated in the music scene already. Honestly with everything that you've been saying to me I could say about the same thing about your opinion not being the end-all be-all for every musician based on unrealistic standards you believe. I only hope you don't toxify the music scene with this bullshit and treat musicians with appreciation and respect while actually giving legit FEEDBACK....something you have still yet to do that shows you're not taking any of this seriously.
.While her technique is more advanced than the technique of every other bass player on the planet, the aesthetic quality of her tone is what REALLY impresses me. Watching her extraordinary musicianship has truly inspired me. Thanks for sharing your gift with us, Mohini! Blessings to you and all of your loved ones :-)
My great friend, Legendary Bassist Louis Johnson, would be impressed bigtime. May He Rest In Paradise! May she grow into the legend, she's destined to become.
@@mustafahajj Yes, Louis was my friend and my student. We went to High School together. I was with him before he became Thunder Thumbs, the nickname the record company gave him, which he did not like.
@@kraiguarsmith2897 Wow.... you are releasing some very good detail here. Thunder Thumbs a title he didn't like. Well, I meant no disrespect to the late legend that's for sure. Most definitely one the bass players ever.
@@mustafahajj he has a family nickname, which I won't divulge. He was cool with it, but he also had Bass players he looked up to, who were awesome and huge influence on his playing style. It was more humility, I think. Yet there was a whole lot of thunder in his thumb.
@@kraiguarsmith2897 I'm sure he looked up to other musicians. Nothing is original. But ole Thunder... oops, I mean Louis was one bad brother on the bass. You said he was your student?? Well then you have got to be a bad brother as well?
If Prince was still alive today I almost guarantee he would have called Mahini Dey to tour with him and his band. He was that committed to showing the world musical talent.
It seems that the T.M.Stevens 'rattle, clatter n jumble-note' style predominates. This girl is undoubtedly very talented but I just don't get the speed trip. Bass is about foundations and feel not speed. Great as an exhibitor but would like to see her in a band context.
People who have ass coming out of their mouth are invariably in the process of turning inside out. It's much easier to look at than to do. Hey take a selfie!
Thank you! Amazing talent,many hours of hard work on full display...Wow. Sure made my day. 1,400 jealous fools couldn't handle the truth..
5 років тому
Well being that she has played bass pretty much every day since she was born due to her father, I am a bit disappointed lol.. But she is very talented. She is very good a speed runs and has quick fingers, but her small fingers make her range very limited. This is why she has to use speed to compensate. But she is a fantastic player regardless.
Bruhaaaaa! Imagine you all alone At Guitar Center with a Bass in your hands you are playing your best rehearse song,with your eyes closed then you hear some slapping behind you, you open your eyes and it's Miss Dey. You gulp the lump in your throat, you look at your watch like you have some where to go,you hang that Bass back on the wall and walk out get in your car start the engine and drive away very fast!
If they send a recording of this into outer space, other intelligent life might actually want to meet us! She is definitely communicating on a higher level.
I'm quite confident he wouldn't have said that if he could've looked into the future. Pick anyone who's good at anything and there's 50 people on UA-cam doing it better.
Woah! This takes me back. That 2nd track she did was like a Michel Urbaniak meets Stephane Gappelli with her on bass and Stanley Clarke jamming at a Jazz meets funk & Blues Woodstock! If only. Outstanding playing. She’s going places for sure. 👌🏼👌🏽👌🏼👌🏽👌🏼👌🏼👌🏽👌🏼👌🏽
Justin Nizza yeah ... new song.... she Doesn’t have the looks like jagger not the looks like jagger and way more talented than ugly singers. Ugly singers
Every so often an artist comes along and smashes into my life and turns it all flippy floppy and forces me to reconsider everything I thought I knew about, and then i become hopelessly addicted to their work. Neal Morse was the last one that did that to me when I fell into his world late in 2020. And now Mohini Dey has done that for me all over again 🤯 Yes please more of that 🔥💜

I'm talking about this exact kind of toxicity in the music scene where people believe that "it's just a few gimmicks", "you'll see this specific kind of talent everywhere on UA-cam" (which by the way, you won't.) Unless you have an archive full of 20-year old girls shredding on a BASS guitar like this everywhere you look (when most videos are normally male jazz guitar players with time to record themselves onto UA-cam doing their best take)--then I'd stop with this mentality that actually turns people away from wanting to stand out as musicians in the first place.
Everything she did was so skilled and on point while she passionately played her heart out to everyone. What kind of ridiculous and unnecessary expectations do you have to see someone like this play and then proceed to say it's nothing special or you've seen better? Music is music, and all you're doing is sounding like a bunch of ungrateful spoiled kids. "Nothing special" my ass. How about actually giving constructive criticism (if you have any) at the very least, while simaltaniously encouraging her current skills that have clearly been shown (unless you are deaf and blind or simply not a musician).
If you can't at least do that, you are the problem in this scene.
@Al Bundy If you could stop treating me like some defensive idiot that needs to "get over it"....there's just no talking sense into you, and I'm starting to see where you stand now. I've been reasonable here, and you are swearing by your life that she's not reaching 'the bar' because you dig up a video of a 10-year old kid who probably got tons of views as a prodigy on bass (prodigy would be the only way to explain it in this case, because most 10 year olds just could not reach this skill level realistically without constant uninterrupted practice).
Don't get me wrong, kudos for the kid if you can find the video you're describing for me, because I'd give him just the same support.....But still, that shouldn't discredit someone else entirely that is still at a very high skill level, especially for a female bassist (it takes a lot of finger strength and stamina to pull of what she's been doing for minutes on end) who's only flaw was getting reasonably tired out at times and muffling some notes in the process. I would agree with some people that she gets a bit too finger happy at times for what she can 100% handle.
This is all basically the same as saying "Eh, you're not really THAT great because some Asian kid I saw on UA-cam is so much better". Which is pretty rude to say to someone who worked hard enough to simply play what they've made for fans of music. Just being honest here-- you would not say that to anyone in person or you'd be immediately seen as a stuck up dick in public who doesn't appreciate the music itself, only obsurd talent.
Again, that's not the mentality anyone who takes music seriously should keep if they don't want to become bitter with everything they hear, even if it's actually good from a musical and technical standpoint. It doesn't always have to be "the best" to you, just as long as it sounds good and the passion is there.
My overall point is that's not the attitude to have in the music scene and you're completely basing your opinions soley on the vast amount of music posted on UA-cam and social media (clearly unrealistic). In turn, that's making everything seem like a worldwide pissing contest to you instead of actually appreciating and giving legitimate feedback to musicians that do what they can out of passion for what they love to do.
Legitimate feedback does not include basically saying "You still don't reach the bar standard because there's tons of musicians you don't even know on UA-cam that are clearly better than you." That tells them nothing even if you wanted to see a musician become, well, a BETTER MUSICIAN.
Of course there's inevitably gonna be a few people on the worldwide web way better than you even if you're an expert at what you do, but carrying around these unrealistic expectations and believing them to be the bar standard without developing actual constructive crticism will consequently do nothing for anyone. Sorry to say.
Shut the fuck up you act like you know it all..i bet your white huh
@Al Bundy At this point you don't even understand what I've been saying. If you did you'd know that it's not "what I say goes" its just common sense if you were to actually think about what I'm saying instead of constantly pulling some kind of assumption like that out of paragraphs of information you can't even bother to read.
I'm coming at this argument reasonably about how this mentality is toxic to the music scene, yet you're hypocritically the one who's wanting to state "the bar standard' based on people's highlights on social media....wow. That expectation is unrealistic no matter what angle you play from, and if you still don't get my point I'm not gonna waste my time explaining to someone who ignores all of my points just to make childish assumptions like "what I say goes". That is a childish mentality and I'm simply using what actually makes sense and what has even been debated in the music scene already.
Honestly with everything that you've been saying to me I could say about the same thing about your opinion not being the end-all be-all for every musician based on unrealistic standards you believe. I only hope you don't toxify the music scene with this bullshit and treat musicians with appreciation and respect while actually giving legit FEEDBACK....something you have still yet to do that shows you're not taking any of this seriously.
.While her technique is more advanced than the technique of every other bass player on the planet, the aesthetic quality of her tone is what REALLY impresses me. Watching her extraordinary musicianship has truly inspired me. Thanks for sharing your gift with us, Mohini! Blessings to you and all of your loved ones :-)
Dude! Better than any player on the planet?! I know she's real cute but you're just real thirsty!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm really excited to see a host of great young woman bass players come of age.
Uyj.uuy
This is why I tried to sell my band members on Chic Correa back in the late 60’s early 70’s. Absolutely beautiful arrangement, sooooooooo much talent.
Thinking of something to say which would justify how good she is... can’t think straight.. just WOW!
My great friend, Legendary Bassist Louis Johnson, would be impressed bigtime. May He Rest In Paradise! May she grow into the legend, she's destined to become.
The late great Thunder Thumbs is your friend??? Wow!!! Well if Thunder Thumbs would be impressed she is amazing.
@@mustafahajj Yes, Louis was my friend and my student. We went to High School together. I was with him before he became Thunder Thumbs, the nickname the record company gave him, which he did not like.
@@kraiguarsmith2897 Wow.... you are releasing some very good detail here. Thunder Thumbs a title he didn't like. Well, I meant no disrespect to the late legend that's for sure. Most definitely one the bass players ever.
@@mustafahajj he has a family nickname, which I won't divulge. He was cool with it, but he also had Bass players he looked up to, who were awesome and huge influence on his playing style. It was more humility, I think. Yet there was a whole lot of thunder in his thumb.
@@kraiguarsmith2897 I'm sure he looked up to other musicians.
Nothing is original. But ole Thunder... oops, I mean Louis was one bad brother on the bass. You said he was your student??
Well then you have got to be a bad brother as well?
Idc how many times I watch this I'm still in awe of her!!!
If Prince was still alive today I almost guarantee he would have called Mahini Dey to tour with him and his band. He was that committed to showing the world musical talent.
i bow my head to her in awe. She’s amazing
She is just brutal! God bless her 🙌🏻
Beyond the superb, unmatched technique Mohini Dey is phenomenally Musical.
Definitely one of the best bassist on the planet and as far as hand speed she's unmatched
Doctors said penicillin but I believe this actually cures Cardi B.
Nioiyce
Boom!
👊🏼!
😁
😄
Just wish the bass was louder so I can hear all the subtleties in her playing.
Yeh, the synth percussion backing is to loud.
Exactly
headphones seem to catch all the low end, so perhaps that may work. hope it helps.
I have on Bose headphones and it catches everything, really nice.. Yeah the bass could be a tad bit louder & less track..
It seems that the T.M.Stevens 'rattle, clatter n jumble-note' style predominates. This girl is undoubtedly very talented but I just don't get the speed trip. Bass is about foundations and feel not speed. Great as an exhibitor but would like to see her in a band context.
The child of Meshelle N’degeocello and Marcus Miller lives. 🖤
The first track is
MALADEY - Federico Malaman feat. Mohini Dey
YO thanks i was looking for that in the comments and there it. is.
I love when the music God's send one of their own to earth!
My bass just got out of it's case and asked me for a divorce, crap!
Please come back!!!!!
You can't believe I am looking at 3000 thumbs down. Are you kidding me? She absolutely deserves recognition for her studies! She is badass on the bass
The lady has hands!!! She was amazing. Love to hear her play some bad ass old school funk!!! Way to go girl!!!
People who have ass coming out of their mouth are invariably in the process of turning inside out. It's much easier to look at than to do. Hey take a selfie!
Thank you! Amazing talent,many hours of hard work on full display...Wow. Sure made my day. 1,400 jealous fools couldn't handle the truth..
Well being that she has played bass pretty much every day since she was born due to her father, I am a bit disappointed lol.. But she is very talented. She is very good a speed runs and has quick fingers, but her small fingers make her range very limited. This is why she has to use speed to compensate. But she is a fantastic player regardless.
@ Yes,you may be right. I know she sure nailed the vibe in that video of her playing live w Steve Vai.
Unbelievably stunning and just as talented.
Ela simplesmente toca demais 👏👏
Had to check if I left this on 2X playback speed!
Same!
Damn girl..work it .. 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸
I checked immediately
Me too!
Same here😂😂
My bass guitar is now up for sale....
Beer Flatulence Don’t get discouraged friend. We all started out with no knowledge and no talent. Use this as motivation.
whatcha got?
Lol.
Bruhaaaaa! Imagine you all alone At Guitar Center with a Bass in your hands
you are playing your best rehearse song,with your eyes closed then you hear some slapping behind you, you open your eyes and it's Miss Dey. You gulp the lump in your throat, you look at your watch like you have some where to go,you hang that Bass back on the wall and walk out get in your car start the engine and drive away very fast!
Showoff im not impressed sorry also stop playing with your hair daaaahh go put it up your not a pro sorry
Pretty young lady playing the bass beautifully.
They need to have her on Scott’s Bass Lessons!
If they send a recording of this into outer space, other intelligent life might actually want to meet us! She is definitely communicating on a higher level.
😁😁😁true
Amazing
I'm sad now. Maybe I'll take up the kazoo, or triangle.
I personally recommend the claves
I mastered the "air guitar" new album coming out soon!!
Man, can I relate! I feel like a no-talent bum now.
@@paulmaxwell8851 Right? I gotta stop watching these videos.
I took up paper. It's much easier to crumble and throw away.
Mohini Dey
First time l seen you Play
You made my Day
So l just wanted to Say
Hey ! You are THE DEY OF MY DAY !
So amazing performance, thank you Mohini Dey from Central Asia
She's Indian...
@@krumax8190 yes, I know!
I remember the late 90s interview with Gene Simmons in Bass Player magazine when he mentioned that women shouldn't play bass...I'm just laughing...
I know of a lot of women who play bass a hell of a lot better than he ever could.
She puts Gene Simmons to shame.
I'm quite confident he wouldn't have said that if he could've looked into the future. Pick anyone who's good at anything and there's 50 people on UA-cam doing it better.
Gene Simmons should just keep his pie hole shut. He doesn't know shit from peanut butter.
Gene Simmons is a fucking has been.Who gives a fuck about him.
Woah!
This takes me back.
That 2nd track she did was like a Michel Urbaniak meets Stephane Gappelli with her on bass and Stanley Clarke jamming at a Jazz meets funk & Blues Woodstock!
If only. Outstanding playing.
She’s going places for sure.
👌🏼👌🏽👌🏼👌🏽👌🏼👌🏼👌🏽👌🏼👌🏽
I have seen this vedio many a times & she is just perfect everytime.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
10/10 looks and 100/10 bass playing. I bet she has more haters than friends. Jealously is a son-of-gun.
Hahahaha
Facts
the only one who is jealous here is you buddy
@@thanseernazarudeen1629 i'm not jealous. I am in admiration.
Talented.
Hear a strong Marcus Miller, but more Victor Wooten.
Speed and accuracy is phenomenal.
The comments on here had me rollin,😂🤣😂🤣😂 omg so funny ...ahahahah
Amazing .Thank you so much Mohini Dey.
OMG.....She's in total and complete evolution.......She's amazing.
Her tattoo is dope as hell. Very unique.
Looks like a cover up piece
So amazingly great! I loved watching this.
Oh my, she's so good! ... "killin it"(?) You could also say "she brought that bass sublimely to LIFE"!
"dem chops is lethal!!!" ... wonderful talent on display here.
Eres una ecarnacion.de una diosa
Her playing never ceases to amaze me! 🎶 🎼 🎵
Amazingly beautiful top notch bass player too I thought I was a good bass player until now keep up the good work
It’s against the rules to be this talented and attractive at the same time, lol.
Justin Nizza yeah ... new song.... she Doesn’t have the looks like jagger not the looks like jagger and way more talented than ugly singers. Ugly singers
Justin Nizza u right homie
Yes officer, this comment right here
Helix Hah!!
it is not. talent and beauty goes together.
Wow you are utterly amazing and free within yourself.
An inspiration.
Mohini Dey you are so Beautiful you are the Greaest female Bass Player ALIVE I LOVE It
Such speed and style, fabulous!
My goodness! She’s absolutely adorable and talented! You are a rarity!
Thank you, Mohini Dey, for sharing your gift with the world.
Heroic performance. Yours should be a household name, globally. No joke.
it becomes difficult to even breath while watching her play
Every so often an artist comes along and smashes into my life and turns it all flippy floppy and forces me to reconsider everything I thought I knew about, and then i become hopelessly addicted to their work. Neal Morse was the last one that did that to me when I fell into his world late in 2020.
And now Mohini Dey has done that for me all over again 🤯
Yes please more of that 🔥💜
ridiculously awesome 🤙i think i just fell in love with the bass all over again
This video has brought considerable joy to my heart.
She is so damn cool! I come back to this video every week.
It's always good to see outstanding talent in action.
How can I not love this spectacle of power under Devine control...🥂
So, before you say you are a bass player, make sure no one arround had seen this.
This sums it up nicely. Haha
Indeed
Unless you're victor Wooten
@Birman Hitman she's doin a solo performance, what did u expect?
ahahhahaahah
