Under/over-rated Bass players?
US BASS PLAYERS GET NO RESPECT!
Now that I got that off my chest... Under-rated IMHO. John Entwistle>Who Rocco>Tower of Power Chris Squire>Yes

Les Claypool?
Not sure if he is under or overrated--he's more "out there". Who's the guy who plays bass (upright and guitar) for the Beastie Boys. He's underrated.

Claypool, was he in the Clash?
Over-rated-Guy in Primus I agree with your under-rated ones, would add what's his name that played with Stevie Ray and Double Trouble

2nd vote for Chris Squire. "The Fish" has been a trendsetter for going on four decades. Unbelieveable playing. You haven't seen live music till you've seen Yes play.

John Entwistle for sure. But I think that when you talk to people that are really into music and not just into what is popular, they with put the Ox near the top.
Now for an obscure reference. Underated - Lemmy Kilmister. Also - Bassist from Iron Maiden - Steve Harris

I believe - which does not make it true - that the best bass players, and guitarists, are studio musicians

Chris Squire underated? He is one of the premier bass players of all time. I always thought he was duly recognized as such. My all-time favorite for sure.
