When you find legendary guitarist Jeff Beck playing his Fender stratocaster electric guitar you will almost always find an outstanding bass guitar being played by Tal Wikenfeld. It is my opinion that no two guitar players compliment each other better that these two.
Jeff achieves his sound not with the use of effect pedals, but rather by using his fingers and tremolo bar. His instrumental version of The Beatles “A Day In The Life” is both a unique and breathtaking example of taking an already great song and adding your own twist to it that makes it you own. While playing Tal is right there with him playing a bass line that is rivaled by Paul McCartney on the original.
Tal can be seen playing a Fender Jazz Bass look-a-like. Her custom bass guitar is a high end bass made by Sadowsky Guitars Limited.
