Gore Gore Girls have had 3 female bassists
Kate Bush
The bassist from The Organ
KIM FUCKING DEAL
The Breeders have had at least one female bassist
The Cramps have had no less than 3 female bassists
Let's make a list of male bassists. I'll go first:

EVERY FUCKING OTHER BAND EVER.

So yeah, i'd say my point is totally valid. Dude, you're losing all over this board today. How's that feel?

You're mistaking the entire music industry to be the general consensus. Textbook error. Because bands slip under your radar does not mean they do not exist.

i can guran-fucking-tee you that there are FAR more male bass players in bands than women. and don't get your libby cockles in a rankle mang. i'm not saying that chick bassists aren't talented and don't deserve respect. my only comment is that they are by far in the minority. for realz0rz.

No, actually you said they were "uncommon" which isn't true at all.

I wouldn't say uncommon is wrong.

For better or worse, the vast majority of musicians in popular music are male. That list would be a lot longer if it consisted of male bassists.

Just go through that last. If you want, count the females and males and compare.

JamesSmann · Post by **JamesSmann** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:09 pm

so basically, there's a lot more male bassists than female, making male bassists common and females uncommon.

wow. i guess that would...oh...make ME right, wouldn't it?

Fuck me, you're one sad fucker. Next time me or shad bait you, I think we'll have to take a few seconds to consider your disposition; That of an attention-seeking child. I'd normally point to some major trauma in your childhood, say, to do with your parents. But Jason seems really quite together, so I'll have to assume that you're just a bit of a nob.

Toodle pip!

blablabla

hey, my real name's kim, and yeah, kim deal and kim gordon really have something to do with me picking up a bass .. i guess... but so did jessee keeler from Death from above or peter hook of Joy division...

besides, i'm also a guitarist/vocalist and play some synth stuff and whatnot (HEAVIUM duh, linky in my sig..that's 100% me..no one else involved ok)

but there's a stigma on female bass players, i'd be a hypocrite if i'd say it isn't so, or don't feel that way about it... i guess it is kind of a clich?... i sometimes feel like..when i 'm playing with a band as 'just the bassist' that people look down on me before we start our set, but afterwards i always get a lot of good responses so it's fine i guess..

but really, listen to some Toy Dolls, SY, Smashing Pumpkins, Prince (!) and other bands with talented female bassists, if you wouldn't know it's a woman playing bass you probably would not be able to tell either...sure it's kind of sexy when a good looking female can play real well, wether it's bass or guitar or piano, whatever, but if they're shit musicians they just don't make it, there's a lot of hypocrisy in the music scene but i really do believe that it's still the timbre/feel/motivation/skills/overall charisma, regardless of gender etcetc that make a musician a good musician ( you need all of that stuff in the right doses ), not their gender, age or looks (that Lucky Numbers bass player is a fucking ugly fat chick, seriously, but she can play ! haha)

my two cents...

REST STOP

I'm playing in a Mew cover band for a Christmas blast next week, and we've a bassist named Inkyung from fellow company-band Monni. Hard to admit(I've been playing bass for 16 years), but the 26 year old girl comes really close to puting me to shame.
