Another +1 for Tina Weymouth...not particularly fancy or technical but always very good at playing the right notes in the right places...which is [i]much[/i] more important IMHO

Since I can't think of a player I like...I'll go for this.

Tal. Mainly because she retweeted me once!

[Ian Savage]

Sean Ysuelt (ex-White Zombie) takes me back to my formative years, great bass playing and I had a major teenage crush on her too weird when you find out your teenage crushes are now in their mid-late 40s, though

I'm not allowed to answer this question, so will instead post a tune by my favourite two-girl, two-double bass band.

I thought that's what the original question was anyway.

I vote for both bassists from The T*ts of Death.

Indeed.

Others would be Me'Shell, Tina Weymouth & Melissa Auf Der Maur (love her tone). Big up for Yolanda & Rhonda too.

[Linus27]

Mine would be Amanda Tannen. No idea what her playing is like but I like the look of her

Well if that's the criteria - Hilary Woods of JJ72

[Sibob]

GAD
Meshell
Esperanza
Rhonda

In that order, oh and with regards to the OP's choices, have passed the sentiments onto Chloe

OOOOHHHH yes yes yes. Still don't understand why she just turned her back on music.

[toneknob]

Winner in category "most likely to be mistaken for Deb out of Dexter" - Vivi Rama

[dave_bass5]

She must be hot

[bassbluestew]

Gail Ann Dorsey for me every time.

Don't know why but I don't want to like Carol Kaye.........every interview I have read she seems to want to trash JJ, or it could easily be I'm being oversensitive and reading it like that. But we don't want to open THAT pperticular can of worms again.

Anyway GAD, is talented and IMO extremely hot, though I was told ( and it could be someone trying to calm me down ) that she drinks from the furry cup. Her first solo album is magical, nice voice too.

I'm a big JJ fan but I find it hard not to love her playing and influence. Her claims to JJ's lines are annoying and totally protracted now but 99.9% of people know she's talking out her arse. Not that she needs more limelight anyway, she played on Pet Sounds for god's sake!

I reckon Carol Kaye and James Jamerson are the same person. Think about it, you never see them both in the same room at once, do you?
