PJ Phillips Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Great bass players all! What's the deal with Carole Kaye ... Did she play on everything? I think she may have been credited with a lot of Jamersons sessions - could never figure it out! I love Me'Shell and also the amazingly fearless bass playing of Tal Wilkenfeld. She is a rock! Also, may I add Midus Guerriero who is fantastic and also a great singer and finally the beautiful Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cellist from 'Bond') who is a monster funky electric bass player too.

OutToPlayJazz Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 [quote]Gail Anne Dorsey and Divinity.[/quote] Oh yes, I'd quite forgotten about MC.Divinity. She tours sometimes with the Victor Wooten band. Quite a tidy player. It's Tal all the way for me, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorris Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 [quote name='clauster' post='194495' date='May 8 2008, 10:48 AM']+1 to Tina Weymouth Also Clare Kenny (Shakespeares Sister, Aztec Camera, etc, lots of session work).[/quote] nice call on Clare - good stuff on Orange Juice tracks. Overall depends on whether looking for best ' solo / muso / tech ' female bass player or female bass player in the best band. Kim Deal in the Pixies - not overtly technical - but there's no-one male or female who would be ( have been ? ) better in that context. There should be gratuitous pic of Suzi and the Fonz around here somewhere - best female singing acting bassist ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbluestew Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I think the Jamerson / Kaye thing is a WHOLE BIG topic on it's own. Looking at some US sites they get VERY het up over it. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Ok, so this may be a little controversial but I really like Michele Stodart of the Magic Numbers. No clever technical stuff going on but I just love some of her ideas and the patterns she plays, really suits the band's sound and actually quite fun to play along with. First album and demos are my favourites. Here she is playing live : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYTocYnxWYE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYTocYnxWYE[/url] Not particularly fluid and the tone is bit dead but something about the bass line just does it for me PS - if you want to hear the 'produced' version of the same song it's here : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-7Japu-MdU&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-7Japu-MdU...feature=related[/url] Edited July 5, 2008 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's one of the things I quite like about all of them, a bit on the large side, lots of hair, no posing fashion stuff & churning out great little pop songs Found another live version of the same song with much better sounds from Glasto a few years back : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYtZ5LNd8tQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYtZ5LNd8tQ[/url] Edited July 5, 2008 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I refuse to engage in this debate as it is, by its very nature, sexist. A players gender is of no relevance to his or her playing. You'll be asking who is the best gay bass player next. The best Muslim player? The best Socialist player? The best player over 65? Nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
