Best Answer

Yes, he did. Most of the Smothers Brothers albums from the 1960's were recorded live during their nightclub act where Dick and Tommy provided their own instrumental accompaniment. There are also several videos on YouTube from TV specials and concerts in which Dick is really playing the bass. He never did anything fancy, just privided very simple and supportive bass parts.

Which Smothers brother plays the banjo?

John Hartford played the backup banjo during the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, but, as seen on You Tube, both Tommy (born 02/02/37) and Dick (born 11/20/39) Smothers could play the banjo. Do keep in mind the banjo playing was for serious music and not "part of the act". Generally you will see Tommy with the guitar and Dick with the bass in any of their comedy routines.

Is bass underappreciated?

When I was begining to play bass and I always heard jokes about it: "It has to be easy to play, you only play one note at a time", "It only has four strings", "Bass doesn't really matter in metal". They are simply not true. Most musicians understand the importance of the bass and will never under appreciate a bass, but when facing people / other musicians just remember, bass is always missed more when gone than appreciated when around. Take satisfaction in that.
