In the popular imagination, the bass guitar is the feminine rock band instrument. Odds are, if there's an "alternative", rocker chick character, she'll play the bass. And since rock bands can have at most one female member, she'll be the bassist. This goes hand in hand with other musician stereotypes. Since drummers stereotypically require strength and physicality and the lead guitarist gets all the girls, men gravitate to those roles, leaving the less-competitive bass player positions open for women to gain a foothold. It also often goes along with Nobody Loves the Bassist: the position is typically seen as the "least essential" member of a band, so being a girl is often seen as the female bassist's main contribution. Compounding this with the phallic imagery associated with guitars — including bass guitars — her job is to add sex appeal or otherwise pander to the audience. There are, however, other reasons the bass can be seen as the feminine instrument. As the rhythm and core of the sound, the bass can be considered The Heart among the instruments, lending itself to female musicians who might be more willing to play a support role. This stereotype can be considered tokenizing, with the implication that female bassists aren't "real musicians". However, some of the most famous real-life examples, like Suzi Quatro, Tina Weymouth, Kim Deal or Kim Gordon, were Lead Bassists and defined their bands' sounds. More broadly, female bassists can be seen as trailblazers in the male-dominated rock genre and inspiration to generations of female musicians. Compare Male Band, Female Singer and Five-Man Band, which put the Token Girl in a different role. Remember that Aversions are not notable and Real Life examples cannot be Played With. Formerly known as the Suzi Quatro Principle. Examples |

The Hard Times: "All-Male Band Just Waiting to Meet the Right Girl Bassist". The three male musicians in the article don't know any women other than their ex-girlfriends and family members, but are convinced that they need a "princess of funk" or "four-string femme fatale" in order to attract interest in their band. "Female Bassist Suddenly Realizes Love Song is About Her". The song very clumsily ties together the bassist's "female" and "bassist" attributes. "Member Of Band Female, Notes Flyer": The band in question highlights the unusual fact that their sole female member is a guitarist on their flyers, to the surprise of one of the interviewees, who says that "Weird that she's playing guitar. Usually they're the bassist." |

While her sex appeal (schwing!) is a big part of why people are interested in the band, she's also the frontman and vocalist and genuinely serious about her music.

In Night in the Woods, Mae was the bassist in her friend Gregg's (songwriter and lead guitarist) band along with Casey (drums) and Angus (vocals), playing the trope straight originally. After returning from college, she's found that Casey's disappeared, and the role of Drummer and Bassist has been taken over by he former best friend Bea's computer. Accordingly, when she rejoins she's rusty and doesn't know most of the songs (represented to the player by a minigame they have little chance of succeeding at first time), which corresponds to the way her friend group's moved on in her absence (even though she's still been missed). | |

Homestar Runner: The short "Record Store Day b/w B-est of B-sides" includes a montage of cover art from the (fictional) low-fi Alternative Rock band Sloshy. One of those covers is an album or EP titled because girl bassist, that's why. (Oddly, the "girl" in the cover photo appears to be the band members' mother instead.) The rest of Sloshy are male. Lampshaded in the Strong Bad Email "Best Thing" during "Limozeen: But They're in Space!" when Teeg Dougland tells the band that an alternative metal group is currently at the top of the charts. |

How I Met Your Mother: Early in the series when Ted describes his ideal woman, one of the qualities she has is "plays the bass." Many seasons later, we meet the mother and she does, in fact, play the bass in a band and is the only female member, where she's pushed around by the lead singer (and complete Jerkass) Derek, despite her having seniority. During the series there is a Girl of the Week named Stacey Gusar who is the bass player in a reggae band. While the makeup of her band is unknown, what is known is that she spends the entirety of the episode being subject to the manipulations of Ted and Barney regarding a bet. |

In FLCL, Haruko is a sexually aggressive rocker chick whose Weapon (and instrument) of choice is a bass guitar. In one episode she gives Naota, a preteen boy whose burgeoning male sexuality is the focus of the story, the ability to use similar instrument-based attacks, and he gets a 6-string electric guitar (specifically, a Flying V). | |
