And they are?! Just wondering who I should be aspiring to cause it's really male dominated in the world of Bass and I need to see what the girls are doing right so I don't end up becoming some lesbian looking bassist!!

P from Dimension Seven, that chick from Coal Chamber and Talena from Kittie isn't half-bad (yeah, I know kittie isnt great but she can play bass, unlike the rest of the band which just sucks live)
and theres prolly some more too! lol, lesbians are good

Dumbest question ever.
And yes, Talena is the best looking chick in music, minus Maynard James Keenan.

My opinion is that if a chick plays as good as a guy, she's better, because she's "lookable" too. (Yeah, I know, we guys are stoopid....) However, I do have lower hopes when I see that a girl is supposed to do something, quite simply because too many of the girls I see doing stuff are not as good as the guys who get my attention.
But practice, and you'll be good, and I wont care that you're a girl.

When it comes to playing bass, it shouldn't matter if you're an innee or outee. Look at Jo bench from Bolt Thrower, she can keep up the pace, and then some.

It's relevant to the topic, cunt. Maybe he is going to talk about her talent, when he finds out the answer.
And yes, Bolt Thrower did 10 years ago. And they still do.

You should check the French pagan/folk metalband AES DANA (don't know their site url by heart).
They have a female guitarist, bassist and flute-player.
They are fucking great.

Chalice have a female vocalist and flute player, one looked like a total slut, the other sounded so bad i wanted to throw a full stubbie at the bitch, another Ausie band that has a female bass player is Daysend, but they play weird crossover stuff and she looks like a skeleton with skin
and back to the lass from Bolt Thrower, im making the point that a female can be a bass player in a band and not have it as some kind of gimick AND play good metal

Talena Atfield is forking hot .... does it really matter if its a guy or chick bassist ... a chick yeh they are more appealing to watch in maybe a sexual way most of the times ... guys thats just to litsten or watch the bass ... females its liek a bonus ... but yeh .... they can be as good as men of course theyre just much sexier!

yeah i think the question was more about the playing and the looks of the bass player, but when you really think about it, when your listening to the CD or something, are you popping a chubby just because you know that its a girl playing bass?
who cares, im damn sure there is alot of good girl bassists, hell my ex was great on bass. Also, if your going to the concerts just to see a chick with the bass, your going for the wrong reason man

There are probably some very talented female bassists but the odds they play in a metal band really lower the numbers. I don't really have anything new to add to this thread, I might have mentioned Talena (is Kittie still a band btw?), and although this isn't metal, D'arcy from Smashing Pumpkins is an interesting bassist. Not that any of their music is really talented, but still interesting. She uses a pick.
One disadvantage females might have is being on average smaller than men, but then again some really small bassists do their job quite well so it shouldn't be too much of a setback.

i'm a female bass player !
and i guess i play fairly well,i play with3 bands and do a lot of the singing,1 is fender bender and its r&r and 2nd is stark ravin mad and we play metal and rock and 3rd is thunder and we do lite rock and new country,,yes i play for aliving and have played for 13 years and when looks were passed around they must have thrown a whole lot at me,cause everybody says so. i think its good that we have some bass lady's for those that do play i think most of us kickass on bass
just my 2 cents worth

That last picture of Talena by the neck of her bass is awesome. The black and white give it an artistic air. Very cool.

Its not only bass, theres just not that many girls playing anything in music. Theres like 5 guitar players for every one bass player, and 90% of them are probably guys.
But anyways.... the only one i can think of is from coal chamber.

Her boyfriend played bass, and she picked it up when coal chamber started.

Jo Bench of Bolt Thrower is decent.
Most of the good ones I can think of are of oriental decent, which is somewhat strange to me.

There aren't many who are more talented than him, but there are tons who can compose better. Victor is a true gem when he is improving, which is what makes Béla Fleck & The Flecktone shows so fun to go to. He reminds me alot of Felix Pastorius, someone who has the skills but can't write the music.
Billy Sheehan (2 handed tapping goodness) examples: this, 7718 (3a17), and Shy Boy.
Michael Manring (most heard unknown player, he is part of everything) examples: Disturbed, La Sagrada Familia, Book of Lies.
Stanley Clarke (Need I say more?) examples: School Days, Lopsy Lu, Goodbye Pork-Pie Hat (Live at the Greek).
Alan Caron (Funkiest Canadian ever) examples: Pac-man, D-code, Trouble.
Jonas Hellborg (His work in the Mahavishnu Orchestra was good alone; his solo career has been amazing though) examples: It's The Pits (Slight Return), Rag B B, Vehicle.
I enjoy Victor alot, I have seen him live twice, and have most of his CD's. When it comes down to it though, he lacks in writing songs.
My $.02

I think most of his songs are pretty good actually. there weird but theyre full of bass riffs and techniques, and ive downloaded them billy sheehan solo mp3's ages ago, off his website, there very good! some insane stuff, with a p bass! all the tapping and harmonics and tapped harmonics at speed, but i just prefer victor cos of the slapping technique and the groove.
some good points tho.

Hot female bassist
Well i just saw this topic and thought I would add some shit for the hell of it since I've never posted here before lol......First things first.....anyone who says females cant play bass (or any instrument) as good as males are full of shit! I have met plenty of girls and women who can play bass and other instruments awesome. And I don't think anybody mentioned 'Melissa Auf der Maur'....she is a decent bass player I suppose, she sings really well....and not that looks matter....but she is SMOKING HOT!!! damn i love redheads lol......a redhead that plays bass, what more could a guy ask for? lol.....anyways heres her website where theres like tons of photo galleries n' shit.
http://melissaaufdermaur.org
And.....heres some pics of her, yay!!!

To ignore most of the thread and just answer the question originally placed, I say no. Not no as in, "no, women can never be as good as men at bass", just no as in "no, I've never heard a woman bassist that could compete with the better male bassists".
The best female bassists I've ever heard were the lady in Bolt Thrower and the lady from White Zombie around 88-91. Never of them are nearly as good as guys like Doug Keyser (Watchtower), Tony Choy (Atheist, Cynic, Pestilence), Sean Malone (Cynic), Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Death, and tons of other bands I don't really listen to), Jim Sheppard (Nevermore), or Allen Price (Deadhorse), just to name a few. Obviously it's possible, you'd just need to really work at it and get lucky. I'd imagine the largest handicap to overcome is the fact that most women have considerably smaller hands than men, which would obviously make it harder to play great bass. There's an old cliched saying, and one that rings at least partially true, in general if not literally- practice makes perfect.

Female bassists and guitarists are only good if they play without any strings

You can shread on a bass....takes some work, and some tuning on the amp.
