Bob Babbitt is not under rated! Maybe for your generation? BB is very unique in a world of mostly black musicians doing this kind of music, plus he is world renowned for his playing ability.

I can't say enough good things about this very talented Bassist.

Long live "Funk Brother" Bob Babbitt ...

I'm always blown away by the way Bob lets those long notes hang until EXACTLY the right moment, then cuts them off! Sooo good.

@shanmag The bass is a 1975 Fender Jazz Bass, with a maple fingerboad. The 75 Jazz came with either maple or rosewood board. Fender do a nice re-isssue so check out the Fender website.
