Comment:

The S.C.O.T.S. track is a cover of the Kinks.
The Ponys track appears courtesy of

French Connection via deja_vu_all_over_again.

Links to a couple of ladies who are not in the mix:
Ken Harris posted a

on legendary session bassist Carol Kaye.
And if you click on

tornadoZ's comment on Luke79's mix
you might catch a glimpse of SP bassist D'Arcy Wretzky.

73m44s. Filing as "Rock/Pop." The exact ratio of rock to pop is 21 to 0.
Make sure to crank up the bass.

i've thought time & time again about doing something like this, as i've always thought it was kind of strange how many bands have female bassists. lots of great catches here, esp. love the MBV, talking heads & pixies cuts...

Great mix, but I am duty bound to point out an oversight - no White Zombie?(Sean Ysuelt).

YES! Riot Grrrrllls. Love each and every one of them. Great choices by MBV, Talking Heads, Stellastar, Subways... Oh and that's a belting opening quartet as well Ed :)

Just one question...where's Gina Birch from The Raincoats?!

Pop Kulcher

Bastard! I've been planning one of these for months (though I was going to open it up to the entire rhythm section to capture bands with women behind the skins). Superchunk is the one addition that comes tom mind immediately.

I shoulda done this for my 'Bass' series what a great idea. Great mix, now you've gone and transported me back several decades to my Gaye Advert infatuation!

Whoops, I forgot the acknowledgement for the magazine cover featuring Charlotte Cooper of the Subways. It is from
bassgirls.com.

Bassically great. How low can you go Ed? I love it all, and I'm the guy who normally likes that ratio inverted. Thumb thumb thumb.
