Someone not mentioned, but deserves some props is Laura Ballance from Superchunk. Laura is a great bass player, and really made an impression on ‘Chunk fans. Pretty, but f’n NASTY when she strapped on a Fender P-Bass.

Matthew, thanks for the lowdown. I was going from the information on Amazon. I look forward to hearing the album.

great list - cant really argue with that. I’m always going to put Kim Gordon at the top, but a bronze is still decent.

Can we add Charlotte from The Subways as hottest? http://www.efestivals.co.uk/photos/reading/2004/TheSubways-NRG17.jpg

Meshell’s new album has not been released yet. It won’t be until later this year. A release date hasn’t been set yet.

Brenda Sauter from the Feelies was the one who got me used to the concept of having a chick bass player. Don’t know if she has the best chops or whatevs, but the broad can f-in rock.

Niiiiice. Guess I need to think of something more challenging…

Not that she’s accomplished enough to bump anyone off that list (yet!), my present favorite is Kamara Thomas from Earl Greyhound.

Bad ass!

Great list, as usual, B. I’m gonna throw my hat in the ring for Joanna Bolme of Stephen Malkmus’ Jicks. I never got into her work with the Minders, but she absolutely blew me away when I saw her with Malkmus in Langerado.

It’s one thing to be a chick and play the bass, it’s another to destroy it and create an incredible sound for the band to work off of. I was gonna bully her into your list, but I thought laissez-fair editorship was a better way to go!

She also had a lot to do with Elliot Smith’s posthumous album, having dated him for a long time. The Times has a nice piece in this:
