Nobody has worse press than the bassist. The singer is almost always the first person who comes to mind when thinking of the band as they perform the vocal melody and they are in the spotlight. The lead guitarist is the second (complete with virtuoso solos, AirGuitar, dramatic guitar face, and strutting around the stage), next there's the [[AllDrummersAreAnimals wild and crazy drummer/percussionists]], then the keyboardist/pianist turning out a lightning-fast solo, and then maybe musicians playing lead instruments which are found in jazz, orchestras or bands - saxophonists, violinists, banjo players, trumpeters, etc.

%%* Let the * This ''Series/TheKidsInTheHall'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwAYUUJ28UU demonstrate.]]sketch]] invokes this trope. He is not invited to the post-gig party for starters.



* Comedian Nish Kumar makes a routine about wanting to be either the drummer or the bass player from Music/{{Coldplay}}. Simply because this way, he'd still get a lot of money - and remain totally anonymous and disregarded whilst Chris Martin gets all the hate from people who can't stand Coldplay. He settles on the drummer because the drummer gets to sit down.
