All 3 of them have different styles, but I've enjoyed all 3 them when I got to see them at different times

This is an interesting question. Other than being women of color, they don't seem to have too much in common as bassists. They could all teach me tons because I am only a so so player.

Yes. And yes.

Although it would be tough to learn anything. I'd be too busy drooling.

I would be there in a heartbeat. I hope I could learn something from all three. But right now I am leaning toward Me'shell's style gotta love the funk!

Recently I've been able to hang with Me'shell on and off the stage and get to know her very well. As you might expect, she is an amazing human being. We both play bass in the Nublu Orchestra conducted by Butch Morris on select Mondays at Nublu in the Lower East Side. In case you're wondering, it's not uncommon for us to have multiple guitarist and drummers, etc. It's enough just to be in the same room as Me'shell but to share the stage with her and to be playing bass at the same time is indescribable.

As for the other two bassists you mentioned, I only know Rhonda's work. I know for certain that she could teach me a thing or two!
