Favorite Female Bassist

Sign in to disble this ad
There is just something about a girl with a bass. My favorite, hands down, is Paz Lenchantin. Not a huge Perfect Circle fan, but her growl in their first album is nice. Looking at her is also nice. This thread has undoubtably been done many times before. So once again, who is Your favorite female bassist?

Also, worth asking...Has any female posted more living room, youtube 'bass' videos than Lydia?
She definitely deserves another honorable mention for posting entertaining LR videos.

Sheryl Crow does a nice job of holding down the low end.
