Who's the best female bassist?

Probably Km Deal. Kim Gordon is better overall though, if you include songwriting and singing in the equation.

d'arcy or kim deal

the feels man :(

From that group:
>Kim Gordon (actually went on to be an above average bassist and songwriter whose sound really fit Sonic Youth)
>Kim Deal (solid bassist, especially for the Pixies, plus also played into their sound really well - also good songwriter)
>Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads had some funky basslines even if they're not particularly special, but she wasn't really that good and session musicians were used at times)
>D'arcy (Billy Corgan played many of her parts in the albums, seriously - can't defend that)

>best legs

have you seen weymouth in the late 70s/early 80s?

Weymouth, easily. Go listen to any of the funkier tracks on FoM, RiL, or SiT

>>75194460

No female bassist has come even close to Esperanza Spalding

Name a female bassist who can play bop, funk, r&b and latin music with the expertise and musicality that she has

>>75195278
Carol Kaye.

>>75195343
I agree that Carol Kaye is easily the best female rock bassist, but she is not touching Esperanza in jazz, funk and latin music

>>75195468
Not touching her in jazz or funk? She's played in bebop bands and with Joe Pass for crying out loud.

>>75194460
that one nip bitch from tricot

>>75195491
I didn't know that played with bebop bands, which bebop albums was she on? Also her playing with Joe Pass on four tracks on the album is not that impressive. I do respect her as a bassist and do believe she is one of the best, I just think that Esperanza Spalding is the all around, better bassist

>>75194894
she was so hot. never mind she was in one of my favorite bands and all

>>75194649
This, Tina was the best and the sexiest as well

>>75195623
There's too many to remember. She's also played with Cannonball Adderley. I'm not arguing who's "the best", nor do I think that's possible.

I'm leaning towards Gordon/Deal for actual playing, but 90s D'arcy for most qt

he also recorded iha's guitar parts himself, and he's a fine guitarist. it has nothing to do with iha or d'arcy being bad and everything to do with corgan being a massive control freak. besides, he loosened up after siamese dream and d'arcy and iha both actually had their recorded parts on mellon collie and adore, the former of which features arguably more technically demanding songs than the first two albums anyway

>>75198257
This.

Imagine working with him. The guy is a crackpot.
