I've seen DT live. Had no problems hearing the bass, ever.
Also have some of their albums, and again, no issues with hearing the bass guitar at all. There is plenty of bass there in the mix.

the topic is only kind of funny 'cause I'm pretty sure I had heard of trujillo before I ever heard of myung.  and we're going back 20 years here.

Well.. Death Magnetic sounds a lot like a "regular" or "normal" Train of Thought with a different singer... I think that both have their different influences but Trujillo is a good musician, still I don't feel that he is a metal-soul, so I don't feel like he fit in the band, as a stage man... I know he is great but you can be moving your shoulders around at the side of some hard*ss as heitfield, but well is their choice...
 
In the other hand... I don't know why is so much about Myung so low in the mix... I always can hear him and is good to have him low because when the bass is too up in the mix the complete piece feels like drawned, like every instrument is flooded... so, I can live with the mixes they uses...
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

They are both very skilled bassists, but I hear no similarity in their playing. I prefer Trujillo, because he was an influence during my funk metal days. I use to listen to those infectious grooves album and think, "How the hell does he do that?"

Has Myung actually ever influenced anybody???
 
Every time I listen to a Dream Theater CD I hear lots of DRUMS and GUITAR and KEYS and VOCALS and bass.
 
Just like ...And Justice for All
 
Speaking of... Ever heard ...And Justice for Jason?

Yup, it's amazing how much better those songs sound with bass added. It's a shame Myung is mixed so low, it takes a lot of talent to play their songs just to be almost inaudible.

he doesn't have solo albums but he played bass in two projects - Platypus and The Jelly Jam, both with Ty Tabor of King's X. Platypus had Derek Sherinian and Rod Morgenstein. Derek gave up on Platypus, so the remaining 3 created The Jelly Jam and did teo albums. I thought they were really good albums. Smile
