Brilliant, Daisy! You say you started playing late and so did I. We've both been playing about the same length of time, but I started when my husband bought me a bass for my 50th birthday and it's been just amazing! Unfortunately I still have to do other work, but I'm playing in a couple of bands at the moment and having a lot of fun.So glad to hear from another British female bassist 🤘🤘
35:00 Actually kinda needed to hear that. Lost two gigs at the start of the year because of school + 2 jobs + other stuff happening in my life. Kinda easy to just keep sinking especially after losing my job in October. I've got gigs to do at school with my fellow students first, but after that I'm going back in!
This was a great and entertaining interview by Ian. Daisy is very talented, down to earth and continues to do great stuff in the world of bass and music. She inspires people to play and I have been introduced to some new bands with some really cool music from her TH-cam covers (the bass really stands out). Keep growing Daisy!
This is great. I have to admit that I'm always impressed when someone knows what they want to do (and has some idea of how) at an early age. At 22, I had No Clue . . .
I think it's amazing that you are incorporating young players like Daisy. Watching this interview has been as educative and as inspiring as the ones you've done with more experienced players 👏🏽
Finally! Ian asked the question that no one ever asks. @28.22 "how can it happen?'". Thank you so much for asking that. I will say, to your follow up comment about it being all over if you don't want to do the long drives and the gigs etc and having all the gear. I really want to say that, some people (myself included) don't always want to pursue being a session musician. I personally love creating songs, artwork, playing in general, playing in a band and working towards a goal. It's easy to forget that a lot of older musicians have spent years trying to get things going, years of dealing with frustrating people, time wasters, terrible gigs, terrible venues, band drama, playing in bands they don't want to be in, life changing events, education etc etc and in the end it can leave you feeling a bit disillusioned with the biz/career side of music. I think it was Tesseracts drummer who did an awesome video about how he works a normal job, and almost everyone he knows in bands does the same. Not everyone has to be a full time session player. But we all know that as many times as you try give it up, if it's in you, it's there forever. The older musos have had to adapt to social media and 'content' taking over music and it can be a struggle shifting the love of playing, creating etc to suddenly having to rely on creating "content". At 22, Daisy has obviously grown with it and is doing well. Props to her and props to Ian for asking great questions!
Awesome podcast, as usual. Really liked hearing Daisy's insights/story - really digging the diverse viewpoints/backgrounds SBL is bringing us. I always have loved the way Spectors sound/look, but, man, a Spector requires one's fretting hand to extend WAY out there. #whimpy
This was great! So cool she has found her sound already that took my years and years! I think she sold me on the Darkglass Amp been thinking of getting one
I commented on one of Daisy's videos asking about bass strings and she responded very kindly. I am a old married man and do not understand internet trolls...
Im got SBL on almost all my time at home #basslife this was inspiring on a lot of levels. I have faith in our youth rock needs fresh ideas and outlook max respect
I didn't watch this podcast yet (I'm about to :D), but I was really wondering if there is any chance of you 2 maestros taking a look at some cheaper bass multieffects, like the Zoom B1 four? I think your insight and experience might be invaluable at reviewing this piece of gear to help us newbies out a bit.
Absolutely fantastic interview!! Kinda puts age into perspective(he said at 40 years old)😅. Out of left field, but I need the bass community to offer advice to me. First, I love playing bass. It’s a passion to point of being nearly an addiction. Here’s the problem. I have excessively sweaty hands. It’s truly ridiculous how sweaty they get in such a short time. I absolutely kill strings. They simply don’t last. Not a single company yet that offers a string with the clarity of sound I’m looking for. Please help!!
Hi Daisy! I love the sound and feel of Spector basses! Unfortunately, they're out of my price range...care to buy me one for my 70th birthday in November? Please? Oh, and I prefer one WITHOUT a finished neck! Thanks so much!
I think one of the elements discussed here, like the "She isn't even plugged in" kind of stuff, doesn't only come from certain guys having a weird attitude towards women, but also from people being so scared that they're being deceived that they lash out. There's a channel that I watch where the guy completely stopped doing gear reviews because of all the agonizing hate he got thrown at him from people who were just convinced that he was a paid shill for certain companies, no matter what he did to prove that he was giving his own opinions and that he wasn't being paid to say anything. And that mentality of people being so scared that they are being lied to that they become nasty really mirrors a lot of what's going on in the rest of the world.
I guess when I’ve told people I’ve only been playing for 8 years they’re normally shocked at how little that is, but in hindsight I am 22 so it makes more sense😅Never too late to start playing ever, most of my bass students I teach privately are 40+ :D
@@DaisyPepperBass At your age, 8 years isn't an "only", it twice your adult life and more than a third of your entire life so far. By the time you're my age, you'll have about a third of a century to your name.
14 is pretty old if you wanna make it. the younger you start the more potential you have to grow. By 30 you should already be mid way through your music career, if you're not you aren't going to make it. Age 100% matters and your best learning years are when you are a teenager and thats the time you need to spent learning how to play and starting bands. 30+ is way way too late, leave it as a hobby at that point.
@@rorke47 You're advocating for professional musician retiring or dying at 46, nice bit of ageism. Best get all those aging metal bands on the phone and tell them to get in the grave already.
Thank you SO much SBL & Ian for having me on the podcast, this was so much fun and tutoring on the Liveclass has been a blast!🙌🏼🤘🏼
Older bass player here. You rock Daisy! Keep at it! Folks are just jealous of your talent and success.

What a fantastic interview both Daisy and Ian. 😊 I've been a Patreon of Daisy for just about a year now, and have to say, she's my favorite. 😁🤟
I didn't know Daisy before but she's very talented and down to earth! It was great to have her on the Pod

Really enjoyed this podcast and learning about Daisy. Glad to have more Rock on the channel.
I only saw the jalapeño pepper & not the daisy at first & didn’t even register that her “name” is Daisy Pepper…very cool!
Awesome interview! Also, thanks for the shout-out, Daisy! 🤘
Super inspiring interview. Tons of great advice. Thanks so much Daisy and Ian🙌

I'm loving Daisy's enthusiasm in the LiveClass workshops. Also loving the Indie tracks. Thanks for reminding me that the pick rocks!
Thank you both for a lovely interview !
From an 80+ year old white guy - Excellent video interview.
Ian, you might have met someone more gear obsessed than you. Daisy you rock! Big fan of the your channels. Some of the best covers out there.
What a great interview, definitely going to re-watch again!
Great interview, thanks for the contribution to the music world u2!!!love my specter euro ns2 5
Hey Ian…. I just want to say your awesome and I appreciate your help this week. Love what you guys are doing here and I continue to support
Daisy, your work ethic and dedication to quality music shines through! I bet you’re a great teacher.

Love how Ian tried to save the "her crush" word! hehe nice dodge :3
Great interview and really appreciate being introduced to the next generation. Good stuff plus I could use a new term now…grotten!
Another excellent podcast.
Thomas?!?!!? Spector should be paying him commissions, he's the best stealth ambassador they have!!
Quite the enjoyable listen!

I think it was in 2004 or 5 I did my capstone project on this stuff.
Hey Ian, sometime on the Podcast can you do a rundown of all your basses?😊
I saw y’all do a shirt on dirk lance… are you planning on doing a video… he’s the one that got me into bass🤘🤘🤘
I still follow you both but I just haven't been going on social media much anymore. Still love ya both! #HelixUsersUnite 🙌

I think i've seen her shorts on TH-cam, Girl with a Spector....
Hahah! That’s me😎🤘🏼
Late bloomer? At 14?! I started at 30, does that make me an ancient bloomer? I'd hate being someone starting out at 50.
I guess when I’ve told people I’ve only been playing for 8 years they’re normally shocked at how little that is, but in hindsight I am 22 so it makes more sense😅Never too late to start playing ever, most of my bass students I teach privately are 40+ :D
Started learning bass at 49; I think that makes me a withered bloomer. ;)

If Jennifer Lawrence were a basshead. This is cool.
Hahahaha this is my favourite comment ever, I love Jennifer Lawrence😂
Im 36 💀
That blue bass looks like a piece of candy, I just wanna bite it!

Would've been nice to play something...😮
