Great women Bassists!!??

Sign in to disble this ad
Music is one of many past times/careers that men dont surpass women in..Was thinking i dont know or listen to enough women bass players( apart from my inspiration 'meshell ndeg'e ocello). Also mc Divinity is a wicked bassist, she can be heard on new erm, Beyonce stuff, who i think is V Wootens protog'e, Can anyone think of more great women bassists. Also do you think women bring something more to the bass playing table. feel, attitude. A womens touch if you like!!

Kim Clark from Defunkt is a pretty good bass player.

There's also another bassist named Kim who is not only a decent bass player but is stunning looking too. Can't for the life of me remember her surname though.

How about one that's great on both slab and upright - Antonella Mazza.

Great attitude too.

Tracy Wormworth is a highly under-rated bassist.

Jennifer York, great DB and slab player.

That was my impression as well and this thread should likely be in the Bassists forum but it seems that a number of people are willing to cooperate in this thread. My guess is a mod may very well come a long and move the thread to the proper forum, but I have been wrong from time to time before.

Carol Kaye. Great session bassist and teacher. This woman has probably forgot more about bass than I will ever know.
