Tina Weymouth because I watched her actually learn to play bass over the years.

Or Gail Ann Dorsey because she plays a Bongo and a Stingray.

Oh, my. Is it really that hard to get that joke? haha

My favorite female bass player is Gail Ann Dorsey as well. She's very interesting.

Suzi Quatro. So sue me, the question said "favorite", not "most talented".

Has to be Meshell Ndegeocello. She's 5 foot and apparently can't reach the headstock tuners, but what a great player and songwriter.

As for Gail Ann Dorsey; nice player, but maybe a little limited in some ways; anyone noticed she is put on rhythm guitar duty when Bowie performs 'Ashes To Ashes' - the one song you would really want to play, as a bassist in the band.

There's the woman that currently plays bass for Prince.....I don't know what her name is, but she can groove.

 

[Disquieter]

I forget her name but the bassist from the talking heads is an interesting player.

It has got to be the queen of bass... Ms. Carol Kaye!!! - She gives the term badass new meaning. Without her bass would still be back in the stone ages (for both male and female players) - LOOKS BE DAMNED - SHE CAN REALLY PLAY!

Joel, Tina Weymouth is/was the bassist for Talking Heads.
