There is no debate. You know what I mean.
yoyo ma.
but really, whoever that chick who played with the talking heads was was solid all around.
That's like asking who the smartest mentally retarded person is. who cares?
Agreed- Tal Wilkenfeld. Great chops, quite attractive, only 21 years old and has played with Jeff Beck, Chick Corea and others already.
Best youtube vid is with Jeff Beck at the 2007 Crossroads Festival, playing "Cause We've Ended as Lovers." In the DVD,, when you first see her you think she might be Beck's daughter, not a musician. Then you see her put on her bass, and you think, eye candy. Then she plays....
Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club was always fun to watch. She rarley got a chance to show off her chops in the context of those bands.
Gail Ann Dorsey ....lots of credentials, best known for her work with David Bowie
The new girl with the Pumpkins.
I saw that new girl with the Pumpkins live. She is a hottie. And I guess she must be pretty decent because alot of people auditioned for that gig, including the bassist from Jane's Addiction who "couldn't handle the songs" according to Billy Corgan, which I find kinda hard to believe. How could the bassist of a decent, pretty famous rock band not be able to handle Pumpkins songs? I think that was just Billy's excuse because he wanted the part to go to a hot female, regardless of whether she was the best or not.
Me’shell Ndegeocello would have to be mentioned
Ndegeocello is quite impressive
Yes, she is. But Tal is better:
technically, corin tucker of sleater-kinney played regular guitar, but she usually had it tuned down so she filled the role of bassist. and she was the bee's knees.
Current bassist right now would have to be Rika Mm'of the Japanese all girl noise band Melt-Banana. I am about to paste a youtube link, but beware. These women play seriously hard.
Rika is on the far right of the stage.
