Jon Liebman Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I saw Carl Radle's name yesterday. I can't remember ever seeing it anywhere other than the credits on a Clapton album. He did a good job laying down those bass tracks! Jon Liebman www.JonLiebman.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm so underrated I don't even get rated on the underrated threads. I was listening to Korn's first album in the car today, really groundbreaking tour de force. Fieldy rawks! And Duff does a great job on Appetite.

BottomEndian Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This might be going against the spirit of the thread, but... [b]John Paul Jones[/b] Personally, I don't think he can be rated highly enough. Logic dictates that he is, therefore, underrated. In the true spirit of the thread... [b]Mo Foster[/b] Awesome work on Scott Walker's "Climate of Hunter". And he's British too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on here bought a white ’91 5 string Thumb with red LEDs that was supposedly built for and played by the man himself…and if I remember correctly, he only paid about £900 for it Can’t remember who it was though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlemoon Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Simon Raymonde - Cocteau Twins.... Nothing fancy but very hypnotic/melodic. Colin Moulding - XTC... Mayor Of Simpleton , nuff said. Mark Burgess - The Chameleons.... Inspired. Andy Rourke - The Smiths.... Forget Moz and Marr. Paul Gray - The Damned... Love his bass sound on The Damned's The Black Album. Segs Jennings - The Ruts... Very Underrated. Edited June 12, 2009 by turtlemoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslaing Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I sense general disdain for guitarists in this forum , but this guy is brilliant. Played a lot with Jaco on guitar, obviously picked up a bit from him, as seen in his bass playing here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Cant believe that I cant find reference to Gary Thain, Uriah Heap (sadly long dead) If you get the chance listen to his work on Magicians Birthday, Sweet Freedom or Demons and Wizards. Massive influence on me as a kid. Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRadford Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Another one for Tony Kanal from No Doubt. Even years ago before I ever though I'd touch a bass, I always listened to him and wished I could play some of the lines he does, especially "Different People" Im making it my goal to learn that song, dont care how long it takes. Some of the songs from the lesser known first 2 albums are awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
