clauster Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Yorks5stringer:[quote]Anyone else ever see "Single Bass": she was called Jennifer Moore from around Nottingham way, maybe 10 years ago? She used to sing and accompany herself with lots of Jaco type slaps, chords and harmonics. I've still got her tape somewhere, "Be Your Friend" [url="http://www.single-bass.co.uk/"]http://www.single-bass.co.uk/[/url][/quote] I was lucky enough to do the live sound for one of her gigs almost 20 years ago. Bass into Yamaha SPX90 into PA Microphone for the vox Knew how to play and sing and really use FX creatively and musically. At sound check she stood in front of the stacks to check her sound - "You've got 6db of boost at around 4khz, can you turn it down to 3 please?" I checked the desk and yes, there was 6db of boost right there! Amazing lady! Edited May 9, 2008 by clauster Quote
bottomfeed Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 another plus for Meshell Ndegeocello ..... she da man (!?! ) Quote
bubinga5 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='194235' date='May 7 2008, 10:19 PM'] Meshell will always get my vote for this kind of thread. Rhonda Smith This is Divinity, Beyonce's bass player doing her own thing. She's pretty awesome but very raw. Not everyone's cup of darjeeling[/quote]+3 for those three.....Rhonda is solid I love the way Meshell goes from slap to that fingerstyle...WOWZER Edited May 9, 2008 by bubinga5 Quote

XB26354 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) [quote name='BossHog' post='194160' date='May 7 2008, 07:59 PM']My vote 1 Gail Ann Dorsey, as of Bowie, Tears for Fears, Gwen Stefani fame as well as her own material. Great player, great voice. 2 Lydia Kaboesj can be seen on numerous posts on YouTube, I saw her playing at the Frankfurt Musikmesse this year, she's fantastic. 3 Tal Wilkenfeld, she's in a rhythm section with Vinnie Colaiuta at 21 years old!!![/quote] GAD is absolutely wicked... met her once and she is really interesting, and a really nice person to boot! Tal Wilkenfeld is playing with VC in more ways than one - which is perhaps why when he has a gig nowadays she is always there Good player at such a tender age though...

I think she studied with Fred Baker Quote

Appearing with Jeff Beck is no mean feat at the age oif 21! I bought her album on iTunes the other week & it's excellent, too. Tal gets my vote Quote

Bilbo Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Paula Gardiner, Gill Alexander, Melissa Slocum, Chi CHi Nwanoku (principle Double Bassist with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment), Miranda Sykes, Antonella Mazza..... I could go on - some of these pop bassists are a bit weak when looked at alongside some of the jazz and classical double bass players listed here. There are hundreds of quality female double bassists that could knock these 'celebrity' bassists into a cocked hat. The world of music is broader than you think! Quote

Stag Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 D'Arcy, Melissa Auf Der Maur or Ginger Reyes. Because they are all hot (in different ways) and have played for The Smahing Pumpkins. And that counts for a lot in my book! Quote
