I was watching T.V. last and there I was, on a commmerical, alembic bass and myself for about a half a second, the photo that was taken 5 years ago at a gig
needless to say, it took me by suprise

Whoa, that would be strange.  I guess they don't need permission if you were filmed in public?

If you are performing I don't see how they could use your image without a release. I think that is the case for any situation where you could be identified. Sure sounds like a breach of fair use to your image and privacy. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable legal folks could respond.

If it's from a public performance, I believe they can use up to 3 seconds of it royalty-free.  What was the commercial about?

There wasn't chain link around the stage by any chance was there?  Did you win their hearts with a stirring rendition of Rawhide?  Sorry, I just had this Blues Brothers-esque image fill my mind.
