Sean Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 [quote name='Johngh' post='21646' date='Jun 21 2007, 11:14 PM']Neil Murray - Whitesnake etc[/quote] Neil Murray is currently appearing in We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre, London! remember when they used to announce things like that after TV shows in the 70s? Anyway my underrated bass player is... Mike Mills from REM - great all rounder. Great to see him on the telly last night too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 [quote name='Road Dog' post='23824' date='Jun 26 2007, 11:41 PM']John Deacon (Queen)[/quote] +600. Was the Deacon appreciation thread on BC or BT? There's a lot of people on her who love his style, awesome player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARGH Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Dave Peacock of 'Chas & Dave' Just been listening to "Rabbit" and "Gertcha" and he's everywhere,solid,and has a great 3 bolt late 70s tone. Warm and middy. Cant listen to these 2 play without seeing fagash and pint glasses in my minds eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassmasta89 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 well even though hes not the greatest i would have to say gene simmons is slightly underrated (please dont flame me for this im just stating an opinion lol) Willie Weeks is another bassist that only few hear of... and alot of people i know underestimate Paul McCartneys playing prowess.

JoeS Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Another +1 for James Leach, absolutely gutted the singers are leaving (even more gutted I'm missing TWO dates of their last tour thanks to going on holiday, ridiculous idea). Jeff Caxide of Isis as well, never seem to see him talked about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
