She happens to be my teacher on upright, so obviously I'm biased.

Sean Yesult (SP on last name?) from White Zombie. I'm not sure what she's doing now, and I have no idea how to post pictures in a thread, so there you go.

Check out Serpent Cult, and Electric Wizard.

Liz plays guitar in Electric Wizard, and doesn't Serpentcult have a dude playing bass with only a female singer? I could be wrong though...

But IIRC, Liz was in a band called '13' with 3 other girls, but they too had a guy on bass. Their singer is the g/f of Mike from EyeHateGod. Rad stuff!



Anywho... i guess i'll add:

Meghan Minor - Ampere

 

[SuperBassSam]

What about Emma Anzai from Sick Puppies? I've read two of these threads and everyone seems to forget about her she is also majorly hot.

Google is a wonderful thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_bass_guitarists

My favorite -- Suzi Quatro (a better solo was at the Swedish Rock Festivalk, but that video's been removed):


I had the opportunity to open for the Feelies, with Brenda Sauter on bass.

And then there's me . . .

Oh, also,

Mandy K. - Karmella's Game...

...who we will be playing with in about 6 hours

Roxanne Constantin of Quo Vadis. She learned all of Steve Digiorgio's basslines for them within three months of picking up the instrument, practicing upwards of ten hours a day. She's also a great pianist. Not to mention she plays a fretless Warwick.

There are a few listed here.

List of female bass guitarists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not all are listed of course. Not listed are all three ladies from Those Darlins.

There are a lot...see the Wikipedia list.

As for "hot" or not, they probably wouldn't appreciate your advances if you can't appreciate their playing and only care about their looks. My [now ex] boyfriend made some snide remark about how the leader of a band I was trying out for, "Probably just wants to get with you." I mean, it's not as if I can actually PLAY or anything. What a ****ing concept. What I'm trying to say tactfully is that I don't get why guys are still so continuously surprised to hear about "chick bassists"...it's not the Stone Age anymore! And furthermore, it's a little ridiculous for you to go on about "hooking up" with them instead of commenting on their musical abilities....what do you think this is, the Casual Encounters section of Craigslist? Come on!

For what it's worth, I didn't pick up the bass because I wanted to look cute and impress the boys. I picked it up because I thought I'd enjoy it for myself. Guess what, I was right. If guys think I'm cute because I play bass, that's great, but I would hope to be appreciated for my abilities more than my looks. It takes me five minutes to put on makeup in the morning, wear something nice, and fix up my hair...but it takes me five HOURS A DAY to get to a level where I have some serious bass chops.

To turn this around a bit, I'll put myself in your shoes...yes, I think John Taylor of Duran Duran is incredibly attractive. But at the end of the day, I am more inspired by his skill level than his looks...and ultimately, that's a compliment to him!

I hope this makes sense. I'm not intending to flame you, I'm just trying to show a different point of view on threads like this.

Fumi (Polysics) tears it up.
