And yourselves?

Tina Weymouth.

[RickyV]

Esperanza Spalding is pretty cool.

[chriswareham]

Ayse Hassan from The Savages (my current favourite band).

[Cosmo Valdemar]

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.

Jo Bench
Tal Wilkenfeld
Rhonda Smith
Marloes - Izegrim

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.

[yorks5stringer]

Aimee Mann, check her out here: http://www.aimeemann.com/

[Doddy]

Carol Kaye
Esperanza Spalding
Me'shell Ndegeocello
Rhonda Smith

[FuNkShUi]

Me'shell Ndegeocello and Tal.
Im glad Doddy likes Me'shell, it saved me having to look up how to spell her name

[wombatboter]

Gail-Ann Dorsey

[stingrayPete1977]

Esperanza and Darcy from the smashing pumpkins when they were good.

[leftybassman392]

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...

[Kirky]

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.

[Lozz196]

Eva Gardner. Fender Precisions, Rotosound Strings, Ampeg amps/cabs - great choice of gear, and has a nice way of playing, supports the band nicely.

[Thunderbird]

Grog and she is gorgeous too boot she plays with lots of artist such a Kylie and Danni Minouge this is her own band

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.

[Sharkfinger]

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

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.
