MIke Watt made me become a bassplayer - I loved his line on Brave Captain - It was the only encounter I had with his music back in the day, as a kid watching Santa Cruz sk8 movies-just amazing!

David Margen from Santana.

A big +1 on this!

I can't find much about him - but love his Santana band work, and during same period on Carlos' solo stuff. I he is on 'Oneness' (great record) and parts of 'The Swing Of Delight' (brilliant as well).

Whist on a Santana vibe, I'd throw in Doug Rauch - I can listen to the live triple 'Lotus' (yes, triple) album all day - mesmerizing music, and Doug is just on fire.

Ha, same here. I have the Santa Cruz stuff on DVD now. Still watch it... and play along to the fIREHOSE stuff.
I managed to speak to him last year at the Supersonic Festival. Nice guy...

Are that many of the above underrated?

Anyway, I was listening to some Jane's Addiction today, and was liking the way that the bassist, Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins all manage to give each other space... all at the same time.

So here's a mention for Eric Avery (in case I forgot him earlier!)

Chris Chaney played with Jane's Addiction as well didn't he? Phenomenal bass player!

Chris joined the band when they decided ti reform. Eric did all the previous albums (except Kettle Whistle where they got Flea to do the original songs)
