I think that there are a lot of underrated bassist but my top four is:

Ray Shulman - Gentle Giant
Gustavo Montesano - Crucis
Jose Luis Fernandez - La maquina de hacer pájaros
Pedro Aznar - Seru Giran

I deeply recommend those bands if you haven´t heard of them

Yes...I have always liked his work with PT.
Good call....
I also  will say John Jowitt..who is not longer with IQ.

I concur.

Now there's a bassist who does deserve more recognition. I saw Arena live in '98 and John tore it up.

I always thought Douglas Campbell "Dougie" Thomson of Supertramp was very underrated....Supertramp as a band doesn't seem to get many props on PA.  They did some fine music, and Dougie was a major part of it.

Mike Rutherford. Get 'Em Out By Friday looses half the excitement without that monster baseline.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
