Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick) ain't too shabby either. The guy invented the 12-string bass, practically, and really laid a solid foundation for that band.

BarlowGuy, it warms my female bass playin' heart that you listed a bunch of awesome gal players. Some of my favorite players are Ginger Reyes (now of Smashing Pumpkins), Mia Richards of Gretchen, and Leah Randi (touring bassist for Pink and Abandoned Pools). Kim Gordon and Tina Weymouth will always have a special place in my heart because they were holding down the low end before a lot of women were doing it. D'Arcy of the Smashing Pumpkins was one of the first woman bassists that I took notice of. I'm not attracted to the typical folks who show up on 'best bassists' lists. I'm more attracted to someone who can hold down a tight groove with some warm tone although Les Claypool is pretty cool. I have always had a lot of respect for Fanny, the first all female rock band. The Millington sisters were really good - Jean on guitar and June on bass. quote:
"One of the most important female bands in American rock has been buried without a trace. And that is Fanny. They were one of the finest [expletive deleted] rock bands of their time..." -- David Bowie, 1999 Honorable mention: Jennifer York of Rachel Rachel and Lisa Brigantino from Les Zeppelin.

How about Andrew Gouche, Maurice Fitzgerald, Reggie Young, Reggie Parker and Terrance Palmer? They are among some of the best in gospel.
Andrew Gouche is awesome!!! I've seen him live many a time and is a local fav.
Dave W. mentioned Jennifer York....she rocks!!! Rachel Rachel's "Carry On My Wayward Son" was tight!!!
