+1 for Lydia. Wow, her groove was so deep. Right up there with Me'shell. Yeah, all these names are good ones. Rhonda is ridiculous; same for Tracy Wormwood. I think Me'shell has been the most influential on my end. I'm ALWAYS inspired by her playing and musicality. If I could only REALLY play like that, I'd really happy.
Kim Deal from Pixies and The Breeders. She just has that "beauty in simplicity" type charm for me.
Got the Esperanza CD today and it is incredible, she is also on the cover of Bass Player magazine this month. The music may not be for everyone, but i really like it so far. Very much traditional jazz. I have Tal's CD as well and it is good too.
Kathy Valentine - The Go-Go's, great classic P-bass sound.
Michelle Stodart - The Magic Numbers, great melodic stand out bass lines.

Just heard Vivi Rama for the first time the other day and she's pretty solid.

Yeah, man. Finally picked up a copy of Adrian Belew Power Trio's Side Four, and she is the real deal. (Her brother Eric, on drums, is no slouch either.) For those not familiar, there's a bunch of live clips on Youtube.
+10 for Lydia! I saw her live earlier this year and was so blown away by her groove and her great singing!
I've also had the good fortune to meet and talk with Carol Kaye a few times - WOW! She can still whip off every bass line she has played over the ages!

+1. One of my all-time faves. Technically uncomplicated lines, but with a great sense of rhythm and space.
Gail was the first woman I thought of....Also Janice Tanaka comes to mind...
There are a lot of great female bassists...one I don't think I read here was Amy Humphrey from the two piece band Clatter. Speaking of Amy's, Aimee Man comes to mind!
