Bass players(and music fans) should note the passing of Duck Dunn earlier today in Tokyo at age 70. One of Booker T's MG's, then the bassman for the Blues Bros band Duck was truly one of the best in the biz.

Duck was one of the best.
Agreed! Duck Dunn was a classic pro. All players and bass scholars should listen to guys like him, T Bone Wolk, Lee Sklar, Bob Babbit, etc....THAT is great playing. He will be missed.
The louder the monkey, the smaller its balls.
I felt the need to make it clear just how prolific this gentleman was...it seems to be missing in both threads.
Most people know about the MG's and the Blues Brothers gig, but you've heard his vibe throughout your life whether you know it or not. It is an amazing body of work, and includes some of the most popular/heavily played song in the RnB and Rock crossover world.

Here is my bassgod. It would be hard to list the 2000 plus credits he has. If one listens to the radio for an hour, watch a movie on tv, or a tv show he probably heard this guy play at least twice.
