I guess the bassist in most cases, since bass parts are usually quite simple and no one listens to them anyway  . But a good musician is a good musician no matter what instrument he plays (unless its the recorder or something  )

If a bass is uninspired, you can forget the whole band. There is no such thing as an easy job.

You are right in a sense. However, whenever the bass is good, or really outstanding one really pay attention to it. Probably more than to the rest of the instruments. As in many Squire´s, listen "21st century" and many more.

There's a rather obvious counter example here! 
Any part of a band can be as simple or as complex as any other.

Shut up I love Nick Mason's playing , and Rick Wright is pretty good too, they may not be legens like Cobham and Emerson, but they succeed at their own style. the playing doesnt have to be perfection. its what you hear that counts.
