Gotta love chick bass players!

This is S Caroline from the Voodoo Dolls - she's a good Gothabilly girl - woman after my own heart. Nice to see a sweet lil girl in fishnets swinging a dog house.

sCaroline - Caroline "sCare-oline" Helmeczi claims she had to pawn her halo to buy her 3/4 upright and we don't think she'll ever get it back, there's evil brewing behind those big brown eyes. An electric bassist at 13 and a BJB convert to upright, she's since developed a unique gothabilly style of playing that began with an infatuation with Nick Cave, Bauhaus and Echo & the Bunnymen. These days the darker stylings of southern gothic bands like 16 Horsepower are her favorites.


sCare-oline loves the big sound of Ampeg amplifiers and she gets the tones she needs with her K&K Rockabilly Special - a pickup she swears by. She also creates the chainmail that she wears and belly-dances in, while her banjo and concertina wait in the wings.

My old band had a girl bassist with cherry red/blonde hair - she was a tall amazonian and drew allot of attention from the males - the drummer used to zone out staring at her and lose the beat in rehearsals ... she looked allot like Scaroline actually. :cool:

Kim Deal

Kim Gordon

I don't really find scaroline attractive. The glasses and hairdo kind of kill it for me. There are much sexier rock-a-billy ways to do your hair.

 

I like her ... I've never found Kim Gordon or Deal attractive in the slightest - great players though they are.

Kim Gordon is sexy in an Iggy Pop sort of way. As a normal woman on the street, you wouldn't find her very sexy, but as a rock and roll godess, she is incredibly sexy.

Kim Deal- before her drug problem she had had perfect complexion, she wasn't overweight, and she had long brown hair. She also has a very symmetrical face. That doesn't make her sexy, just pretty. The sexiness really comes from her whole presence on stage and her beautiful singing.

 

Of course, neither of them are as sexy as Blondie or PJ Harvey, but we are talking about bassists here.

None of that changes my impression of those ladies as far as personal attraction goes for my personal taste - neither of them even get on my boner richter scale ... nothing will ever change that, they just don't have anything that moves me from a chick perspective.

I didn't say she was my ideal woman for chrissakes ... infact I said nothing about her looks only that she was a cool chick bassist. :idea:

 

The chick from the Ravonnettes does nothin for me either to be honest - looks like some annorexic rag doll - Guh-Ross indeed.

some of us like anorexic rag dolls!:wave:

tall blondes usually do nuthin for me but she's...well...

 

 

anyhow, what the hell is gothaabilly? :confused:

that "girl" may be a good bassist but in that pick she looks like the 45-year old woman you know from the front desk at work who invites you to see her gig even though you didn't know she even played and then when you go and see her standing there half-naked thumping on an upright you're filled with disgust and shame and wonder if you'll ever be able to look her in the eyes again--or if you'll ever be able to perform with another woman ever again.

Well .. there's no accounting for taste that's for sure! ;) I happen to like Barracuda girls and think she's a decent looking chick actually but not my personal favourite on the BRS ( Boner richter scale ) ... I think because of the glasses that stylistically your associating her with old ladies and women from the 50's who were old IN the 50's. Gothabilly is one of many off shoots of Rockabilly over the years - another big scene when I was growing up was Psycho-billy ... great bands like the Meteors were a part of that scene. Infact you could easily say that the Cramps were a Gothabilly band ... classic Gothabilly infact. :thu:
