Hi,
Does anybody have a clav that resembles that of Herbie Hancock's that plays from the start in Actual Proof? Thanks heaps in advance!

You're going to need a control pedal for wah-wah, because apart from that, some nice reverb (Room, or Stage 1/2) and a little distortion (maybe some compression), that's a pretty generic clavinet.

Needed to remind myself what song that is, so I searched and found this.
Check out the bass player!
Omg.
(and now I feel extremely old and untalented)

Ha! I know what ya mean Is it this girl? If not they are sisters!... she's famous on YouTube and not only does she play guitar, she drums and plays keys too... (depressing and yet inspiring at the same time!)

Impressive, but she's not the one. I googled and found out that her name is Tal Wilkenfeld and that she was actually 24 when doing that gig with herbie in 2010. Nevertheless, I still think she's an amazing bass player!

Ahhhhh…Tal Wilkenfeld.

Watch her completely and nonchalantly upstage f****' JEFF BECK at age 20, back in 2007:




Incidentally, Herbie's clavinet sound on that Montreux clip is just s***.

Couldn't agree more.

Well, there's proof in that mantra: "practice, practice, practice" if ever you needed any!
She must have been locked in a room with a bass guitar from the age of 5 and only allowed out for water occasionally!

She didn't start playing at all until age 14. Dropped out of high school at 16 to study music; switched from guitar to bass at 17.

Three years later, she's killing Jeff Beck onstage.

Sure, kid.

Let me just stare at this here wall and bite my nails for a bit, okay?
