I know OP said rock/pop bassists but there’s something about a female upright bassist that I love. Here’s Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway with the very talented and beautiful Shelby Means on bass

All you need to know about Tal is that Jeff Beck thought that she was good enough to tour with him. Nuff said..

That solo she takes on "We've Ended as Lovers" on one of the live shows on YT is absolutely stunning. Beck is even floored watching her work.
