I don't think you're underrated if major companies sell products with your signature.

Hmm, so if somebody is rated at all, they can’t be underrated...

 

[Jazz Ad]

Depends on the rate. It's all about the rate.

Robert DeLeo - Stone Temple Pilots
Tim Commerford - Rage Against the Machine

This is probably not the best section of the forum to host this post. It should be at bassists.

Derek Holt - Wow! That's a good one. Paul Goddard was a great bassist - Another Man's Woman, enough said!

I think Graham Maby - Joe Jackson - should be on there too.

Jeff Ament Pearl Jam
Eric Avery Janes Addiction
Roger Waters Pink Floyd

I feel stupid posting the band names.

 

[Indy Bass Man]

Rock...Michael Anthony for sure. Brian Marshall (Creed/AB) never gets any love. He is a beast on the low B.

 

[Londo Molari]

I nominate SteffanB!

(You don't have a signature bass or amp do you?)

 

[CryingBass]

Andy West - Dixie Dregs

 

[Root 5]

John Deacon of Queen.

Dave Young, Oscar Peterson. Impeccable intonation and never mentioned in the same breath as his contemporaries.

 

[chris_b]

Me. I'm underrated!!

My nomination, myself.
Not only do I not have a signature bass or pickup deal. I'm not even endorsed by anyone. I pay full price for everything!

John Deacon of Queen.

Interesting. I've always felt like he was quite highly regarded amongst rock players. Deservedly so, IMO.

My nomination for most underrated is Peter Cetera of Chicago. Beast of a player, and seems often overlooked.

Dougie Thomson - Supertramp
Martin Mendez - Opeth

Bass players are all underrated! Talkbass is underrated!
