Great! Thanx for the heads up.
Not sure if they're really "unsung" all of them (Geezer Butler, Larrryt Graham, Duck Dunn)

I like the set up of this article: picture, small story about he player, link to the website, soundsample.
Excellent!

That's what I definitely liked about the article layout. I also liked the brief line concerning equipment and what basses each player preferred or used most often, even though they sometimes don't match what's in the photo!

Mars Cowling...

I was playing some Traver earlier today...

What's he doing these days...?

Thought of another one I used to rate... Prakash John...

mars cowling sounds like part of a space vehicle.

if you meant pat travers he is yet another aging rocker who has morphed into a 'bluesman'.

Misspelt Travers (as in Pat)

Meant his bass player, Mr Cowling... saw him a few times but not in over 20 years...

+1 on Duck Dunn not being unsung. I love Ronnie Lane, Rickie Danko, John Deacon and Pete Quaiffe, so nice!
