I believe that in addition to whome JimmyM mentioned, Tracy Wormworth has done a lot of other studio and live "side(wo)man" work. She's a first call pro. Great player.

Sara Lee, another monster side(wo)man player, has done a lot of work with the '52s also, mainly studio work.

I saw Sara Lee with Gang Of Four during their 1986-ish "Farewell Tour", and she was astonishingly good...big fat muscular basslines that just grabbed you by the coccyx and forced your booty to jiggle around the dance floor. Like being body-slammed by a wet dream.
