I love that this thread exists. I also love that there are so many phenomenal women bass players, many of whom I don’t know of before. Rock on.

Has anyone mentioned The Donnas? I don’t know the bass player’s name, but I love The Donnas. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve been on a Mars Volta kick lately, so Eva Gardner is worth mentioning again. Wow, what an insanely good bassist.

This is the first I’ve heard of them. Thanks for sharing. I created an Amazon Music playlist of the 7 studio albums. They may be gone, but not forgotten. The bassist’s name is Maya Ford. (The Donnas - Wikipedia)

Thanks! Yeah, I watched the video you linked last night. Kind of a sad story what they’ve gone through. I have to wonder how many of the hardships they endured in their musical career was because they were women. :confused:

I want to grow up to be like her.

The way she interacted with the fingerboard is just next level.

I’m not a fan of women on bass.

I have no problem with women who play bass - and there are lots that I like, but they shouldn’t be on the bass. The bass should be on them.

The first person who came to mind for me is Laura Lee Ochoa from Khruangbin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWLJeqLPfSU

I really like their music and I think Laura Lee’s bass is so chilled and funky. I have to try covering some of her bass lines one of these days.

I’ e been in that venue, @ebxx and I checked it out last year. It’s basically Fender’s version of an Apple store.

I think this video just made me a fan. I love how she lets the sustain ring out while she’s singing. It made me gasp but then I just admired that space. I think her voice being lower just fits right in there nicely.

Plus I LOVE seeing that guitarist in the corner :rofl: bet that dood doesn’t have the stones to turn up his amp!

I also did that J bucker bass. I wish they would have used panhead screws on the pick guard so they wouldn’t dimple like that. Either that or use a thicker piece of metal.

Kinda makes me want to do an anodized aluminum pick guard.
