Favorite Female Bassist?

[PaperbackRyder]

Indeed. She's (Gail Ann Dorsey) a fine singer as well:

That right there. Gail Ann Dorsey is a major leaguer in every sense of the word.

 

[Rip Van Dan]

Tal Wilkenfeld, without a doubt. Crazy young and amazing bassist. She'll get my vote every time. She toured quite a bit as the bass player for Jeff Beck.

 

[Doner Designs]

There's more than one? Just kidding! Seriously though, I only could think of Tal and I'm a fan. Actually if she were touring with Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy this year I might try to see them. I'm not sure but don't think she is.

Amanda Tannen from Stellastarr has some great lines

 

[Floridabwoy]

Alana Rocklin... never a STS9 fan until she took over.. she really drives this band now.

this was the first time I did not look at the bass first

I think that's Tal.

Satomi from Deerhoof is a hoot. They also have my (probably) favorite drummer ever, so double whammy on the goods here.

Yup, that's Tal Wilkenfeld. Here's the video of her bass solo at a Jeff Beck concert. She's not just fast and accurate but I think she has great musical taste as well:

Suzi's my favorite female who happens to be a bassist. Now, favorite bassist who happens to be female, that's tougher.

This young lady, Kinga Glyk (19) is bound to make her mark in the bass-playing world...

Thanks for posting this!!!!

Esperanza Spalding. Hands down. Incredibly talented bassist (on both DB and EB) and singer.

 

[japhy4529]

This young lady is INSANE!!!

+1 Agreed!!

 

[bassdude51]

Southern Culture on the Skids.........Mary Huff! No "if and or buts"! Best female bassist! Hell! Excellent bassist regardless of gender!

I'm telling on myself a little here, but my wife was watching a Pink DVD and I got enthralled with Eva Gardner on bass. She was KILLING it!

Saw Tal a couple months ago when she toured, fantastic player.
