I'll give a plug for an Australian - Emma Anzai from the Sick Puppies. The self proclaimed 'female flea'...she's not as good as she thinks but she's got some game.

L-dia ( http://www.myspace.com/lydiakaboesj )

Check out her youtube vids also.

Oh, I'm a big fan of Annie Holland (Elastica) also. She had a killer tone on those albums.

Gail Ann Dorsey - great vocals also.
Check out her singing "Under Pressure" with David Bowie while holding down the groove.

+1 for Tal, Meshell and Esperanza

I just saw Tal with Wanye Krantz a few nights ago. She's an inspiring, intense bassist and a very nice person

piper skih

i think that's how you spell it
pronounced like "piper sky"
she was the bassist for blue october a few years ago
i don't know if she's considered "great", but she nails "razorblades", so she's pretty freaking solid
and she's hoooooooooootttttttttttt
possibly the hottest bassist i've seen
