Oh hey, I was wondering what happened to her after Hole.
Gail Ann Dorsey was mentioned upthread – she’s SO great.
Jenny Lee Lindberg from Warpaint.
Jean Millington from Fanny (1970s all-woman band).

Thanks for sharing this! Watching Gail Ann Dorsey’s fingers while listening to her is really quite hypnotising.
Hello! I am new to the site, as well as totally new to the bass (I just borrowed one a week ago), but I am very excited to give it a try.
Here is my small contribution to this list: an Australian band that I’ve recently discovered, whose bass lines I really like: Camp Cope.
The bass player is Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich.
I am not yet allowed to post links, but I recomment you look for Camp Cope - UFO Lighter (Live on KEXP) on youtube, it’s worth checking.
I hope you enjoy it!
Greetings from Spain
Interesting… she seems to play a lot up on the D and G strings - very melodic!
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
I like their unassuming choice of instruments, a Mustang and a Squier. And yeah, lots of playing up there in the Hooky Zone.
They are fun! I didn’t know them. There seems to be a trend in Japan.
A Japanese band that I really like with a female bass player is MONO
(I seem to be able to post links already!)
Sorry for the long video, but their songs are usually long.
I’ve been lucky to see them live a few times, they tour quite a bit, don’t miss them if you enjoy this type of intrumental (post?)-rock.
Also, I can’t resist leaving you with this:

Have a nice day!
Oh yeah! I should have thought of MONO, very famous. They are great post-rock.
Post-rock/post-metal is one of my favorite genres. There’s a band from Barcelona I really like called Syberia, maybe you have heard them
Ok that was amazing. I had not heard of them, thanks
A Taste of Honey has a female bass player too.
Ida Neilsen is an amazing bassist. One of my favorites honestly
hmm who hasn’t been mentioned, off the top of my head:
kira roessler most famous for playing in black flag for a while
patricia morrison from gun club and sisters of mercy
prince had a bunch play with him (ida nielsen, rhonda smith) but my fave was nik west
Man I missed some favorites. Especially since I saw her about five times last night in various things.
I‘ve gotta say: I love all your posts! So much to discover and learn. Thank you all for contributing. This is the inspiration I need.
I do not know Syberia, I will check them out, thanks!
Also, thank you Regina, great topic.
Welcome aboard @Isabel,
I will check them out,I probably live around the corner
Enjoy the ride,
Cheers Brian
