Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Julie Slick's pretty awesome, a proper rock bassist from the Squire/Wetton school of tone! I do have a soft spot for the divine Ms Auf Der Maur as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I haven't knowingly heard many female bass players but from those I have listened to, i really like what Yolanda Charles is doing on bass. I also like Tal Wilkenfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tal Wilkenfeld for me (but with a nod in Suzi Quattro's direction for standing up to be counted at a time when women in rock were still mostly groupies). Cue gratuitous Youtube link... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgffDVO2UyA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgffDVO2UyA[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ko Melina from The Dirtbombs. Strictly speaking she's a baritone guitar player these days, but I first saw her playing a short-scale bass and she still plays the same lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Eva Gardner. Fender Precisions, Rotosound Strings, Ampeg amps/cabs - great choice of gear, and has a nice way of playing, supports the band nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Grog and she is gorgeous too boot she plays with lots of artist such a Kylie and Danni Minouge this is her own band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PJdHzwOTAA Edited August 18, 2014 by icastle Link Fixed.

paul_5 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 My personal favourite is Carol Kaye, and if you can get hold of her books they are well worth checking out. Yolanda Charles, Me'shell N'degeocello and Tal Wilkenfield ain't too shabby either . Brilliant players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfinger Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Paz Lenchantin. When I saw her in the video for A Perfect Circle's début single (Judith), I thought she was one of the effortlessly cool people I'd ever seen. That bit where during the song's breakdown she quickly ties her hair up on her head. Just.... wow. Edit: Here she is in full glory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTgKRCXybSM Edited August 18, 2014 by icastle Link Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Michelle Steele from The Bangles. Hearing 'Walk Like An Egyptian' for the first time made me sit up and notice. I dont think she does it anymore, I recall reading they have a new bassist now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
