Double Bass Great Female Double Bassists

[Marcus Johnson]

I love having an EUB, because bass guitar is just not for me anymore, and like tonight, when I need to play in a louder/electric context I can, and I use my double bass technique.

Same here. My NS Bass Cello/Omni has put the fun back into playing electric for me.

FEMALE DOUBLE BASSIST.
Who would be on your top ten list?

Hi, I did read your question and I'm interesting in this because I'd like to write my thesis on Female Doublebass player, because I study e and play double bass at the Civica Scuola di musica Claudio Abbado, Civici Corsi di Jazz in Milan , Italy.
I did watch all name that you are proposed and saw the video. I'm looking books, notices, videos, orchestras, news about Double bass female player, recorder and composer jazz from the beginnig to now.
I need to start to research footage to write my thesis. Could you help me in this big job please!?! Thank you so much!
Hope you like my idea ^_^ and my sound <3

I wonder who this girl is:

I'm a big fan of Bridget Kearney from Lake Street Dive. They came out of New England Conservatory and are making some of the most tuneful and soul nourishing pop music around these days.

You gotta' love it . . . a rock/pop tune with a double bass solo! (2:15).

I also like their version of the Jackson 5 classic, "I Want You Back." Great bass line . . . Bridget Kearney plays it nice and laid back:

LINDA OH. That's all you need to know.

I did a short question & answer with Linda Oh for Bass Player Magazine back in 2010 when her first album came out...read it here!

Great player. I'm glad she's been getting more press recently.

Also Lorraine Campet. She’s a beast!

Not too shabby on the fiddle either. When I first saw these videos I thought she had a twin.
