TrevorR Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Silvia’s second bullet point was never going to take us in a helpful direction. Apropos of nothing and notwithstanding that gender is irrelevant, three (actually make that four) other bassists whose playing I have always enjoyed are: Sheryl Crow - simple but solid. Claire Kenney - Cropped up on TotP so many times and she played a lovely Aria SB too back in the late 80s and early 90s which counted as extra brownie points for me Carrie Melbourne - when she wasn’t playing for the gawd awful Babylon Zoo. Good stick player too. Took over from Lol Cottle in Mike Oldfield’s band IIRC Jo Wadeson - some great playing with Thea Gilmore and the Waterboys. Really tuneful and powerful playing both on record and live. And to amply demonstrate how irrelevant gender is in a bass discussion, Jennifer Maidman. Great back in the day with T-Rex, Gerry Rafferty, Paul Brady and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and now funking it up with the revamped Kokomo.

grenadillabama Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It might help a band draw a bigger crowd to have some women who can play good- don't you think ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 17 hours ago, Treeb said: I'm not so sure. Many years ago, a female friend who was sick of queuing for the ladies toilets at T in the Park, bought a pack of devices to enable her to pee standing up (they look a bit like a kazoo). She said it took a wee bit of practice in the shower, but she mastered it. She used the device at the gents peeing trough the following year ... it freaked a few of the guys out! My wife has also used these when we've been travelling - she says they are much better than squatting in some of the dodgy toilets you find in some places ... Can she do it while playing bass tho? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have been rather annoyed as well as freaked. Why she thought going in the mens' was acceptable in this day and age is a mystery. Can you imagine the shyt storm women would have kicked up if a bloke had gone into the womens toilets ? He would probably have been arrested at the very least Edited January 2, 2019 by fleabag 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I know plenty of women who have gone in the men's without the use of any device. Just got fed up of waiting. I also know plenty of men who have gone in the ladies at a certain music club I frequent. It's usually full of old blues men and so the queue for the men's is actually longer than the ladies. I live such a low, dirty life! Haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I wasn't familiar with many of the bands on that list, let alone the players, but the obvious omission for me was Gail Ann Dorsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define 'best' - best chops, best playing for the song, best songwriting...? Get promptly mired in controversy. 2. Last time I checked, people don't play bass with their genitals, therefore 'female bassist' is as relevant as 'gay bassist' or 'black bassist.' I think this is somebody playing an instrument, nearly with their genitals...............! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 After watching that 11 or 12 times, I plugged in my speakers and realised what she's playing isn't a bass! 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
