What? Not very nice, at all. They look very fine to me, and I'm assuming they have better chops than I will ever have. Tal plays with a guy named Jeff Beck. Ever heard of him?

You know, it's pretty much a double standard when you think that a pretty woman doesn't have talent enough to be here.

Rana Ross, Tal Winkenfield and Rhonda Smith have credentials that most of us would kill for. Talent and looks have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Making comments in either direction reminds me of why I stayed away from here for a couple years.

I'm in love with Melissa Auf Der Maur. :D She has no problem tearing it up, be it with Hole, Smashing Pumpkins, or on her solo album.

Man, I thought this was supposed to be a thread of TB female bass players, not random professional non-TB female bass players.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for - one female TB'er posted, and then some jerk posted, and it's all been downhill ever since.

Ok, this is what really pisses me off!

Why is it that girl bass players all have to be hotties, sex kittens or sluts?

I can't tell you how many

A pic form the last gig, she played right after us. Nice dress and really poor playing (really, she played alone 2 roots/minute, along the record. A really strange choice of an instrument for that kinda situation). But she was hell cool even that way :)

Exactly my point, this wasn't supposed to be a "hotties" display, but a display of chick bassists. Thus my comment about it going downhill. On behalf of fugly male bassists everywhere, I apologize to all cool female bassist everywhere. Sorry for the occasional jerk in the crowd. :scowl:

Anyway, here is an older picture of me, taken at a gig, don't have any recent.
