Clearly I need to grow my hair out, get implants, eat a few sandwiches, and strike sexier poses onstage...

It does not hurt marketability...that's why I did all that

 

[hernameisrio]

Ha ha! Well, I AM growing my hair a bit, but it's a liiiittle frustrating when my bandmates say, "Hey, it's good we're doing a Beatles song because you kinda have the same hair as them right now!" Doh. Mmm, sandwiches.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to how sandwiches figure into all of this.

The lady who plays bass in ****ed up is pretty cool

And the Bassist from Yuck.

I just want to use this thread to mention how awesome Tina Weymouth is. Sandwiches ALWAYS figure into all this! (it was a reference to my original comment about how to become more marketable, or at least, how to guarantee tons of views on a TalkBass thread!)

Back in the day, Jean Millington of Fanny:

Good looking & a good player, too.

Have to agree there. For her age she's still pretty good, and her playing hasn't gone down hill any either. She got some good thump out of the "P". Lucky enough to see the band a couple of times, and they always cooked. Hell of a voice too.

Shingai Shoniwa from The Noisettes. Thinkof a younger, hotter Grace Jones (she is a model as well)


My apologies for no pics as I am currently on the mobile phone, but Ill sub to this thread and post some later

Also forgive me hernameisrio, but playing bass does increase the hotness of a woman IMO withont need of plastic sugery or sandwhiches lol. It's an awesome thing to see a woman play bass...kind of like seeing one shoot a machine gun or ride a Harley.

Curse the male chauvanisim in me.....

Yeah, everyone knows nobody in Jersey speaks English.......................

Nobody can speak Jersey except - a Jersian

Mona Gnader rocks.

The sound quality is not great but she rocks pretty hard in this one. Especially at around the 2 minute mark. Also, don't know why but she gives Sammy a shove at around .47.

Good to know that my bass will get me laid... uh, I guess. I don't see why a woman playing a bass is so "hot" or special unless it's truly so unusual and shocking that we aren't abiding by ******#@#$#@ feminine stereotypes instead. You know, in this golden age of 2011 and not the 1950's. I mean, I guess maybe I didn't get the memo that women aren't "supposed" to ride Harleys, shoot guns, or play bass...or that these things are somehow unusual (and now apparently fetishized?). As far as I'm concerned, I'm a bassist...being a "chick bassist" is incidental. Like I'm not trying to get all feminist ranty on y'all, it's just like, it's important to me to be respected too...as a bassist and a woman.
