Just to show how little people care about the bassist, I'll bet almost nobody knows who this is:

Carol Kaye, probably the most prolific bassist in history… she's worked with the Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, Ritchie Valens, Sonny & Cher, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Ray Charles, Count Basie, Randy Newman, Mel Torme, Ike & Tina Turner, Barbara Streisand, Neil Young, Frank Zappa and Wayne Newton, and has performed on the opening theme songs of Hawaii 5-0, Bonanza, The Addams Family, Wonder Woman and the Brady Bunch, amongst others.

Don't forget all the petty infighting.
