Jack Bruce was the antithesis of bassists being looked down upon because he was the lead vocalist, main songwriter and lead bassist for one of the most important rock groups in history. He was the epitome of that bass revolution from Britain.

Being a lead singer overrides any bassist issues.

The hierarchy (as far as respect from groupies) is generally:
Lead singer
Drummer
Lead guitar
rhythm guitar
Bassist
DJ
keyboard

Sting was/is a pretty bad arse bass player, Also, and his name escapes me, but Ben Harper's bass player is pretty damn good . Of course Harper has some really good musicians in his band but he features his bassist actually doing a bass solo
