Best Female Bass Player


Recommended Posts

[quote name='leschirons' post='349048' date='Dec 8 2008, 09:56 PM']Carole Kaye I reckon. Seem to remember she did the low end (upright) on an old Nancy Sinatra song called These boots are made for walking. First ever bassist to use defined quarter tones in a bass line. (for the intro)[/quote]
Just been listening to that - it's great, whoever it is.

Did Carole Kaye play upright?

Listen... Elvis played bass... I play bass... Anyone can play bass...!

But I can't believe that you never heard of Boogie Cindy with the Boogie Wonder Band... Y'all gotta visit Montreal...

I LIKED this video so many times, my fingers ache.

Anyone mentioned Tina Weymouth? My favourite player, and the reason I started playing in the first place. Anyone who can hold it down with two notes is alright with me. 

And she’s hot :)

i do have a liking for the work of Michael Steele of the bangles

Perhaps...Related imageBut she never claimed to.                                                                                                        

 

Someone else would play DB in the lower register while she would tic-toc or use the higher register.

Blimey, quoted from 2009! That's even before the BigBeefChief was banned!

Double bass on These Boots are Made for Walkin' was Chuck Berghofer, I believe.

I think the bass girl from Fetchin' Bones was tasteful and also tastey looking on stage. Juliana Hatfield is a thoughtful bass player that deserves a good listen.The B-52s had a good girl bass player on "Deadbeats Club".
