plus, she, along with the other dudes, introduce extended method into their playing, which dwarfs the sonic capabilities of fast fingers.

That is actaully bang on. Thank you for that.
I ask because I've been learning to play for a little while now. Yeah, I'm female, just like that girl. I started playing guitar like 6 years ago, but didn't keep up with it, so I felt disappointed that I've let myself come to this age without actually doing what I felt like (which happens to be the hobby of playing bass). I started thinking "Kim must have been at least like 5 years older than me when she started playing". You know, a little inspirational I should say.
And yes, most of her basslines are quite simple, and I'm indeed thankful for that, because it gives me a chance to learn songs that I know by heart and LOVE, you know? Makes the learning process a lot easier! (Thank you Kim Gordon). Think about THAT, all you haters! (by the way, I'm joking).
