Probably most Talkbass members are underrated [ in their own gigbag lol ] .
For me its hard to get my head around the " underrated " concept , its up to us as Bass players to pick our favorites , and why are they underrated ?? , probably because the group they are in hasnt got a top 20 hit or they have only ever done one album and all went on to being private businessmen , or rehab ! . Every Bass player has his/her own merits [ some more than others ] , but unfortunately just because we like a phenominally great player in a great contemporary Jazz fusion group for example , getting that group onto mainstream radio to blow the worlds populations minds and convert them into bass players [ thank god ] will never happen , so In my mind thats why you`ll always see the " flavour of the month " players because of who they are not what they are being discussed as the next best thing to sliced bread and therefore omitting truely talented players from having mainstream exposure .
