Talk About Bass
I would like to take some time and talk about some of my favorite bass players, first one being Donald “Duck” Dunn. For those of you that might be saying who?, I’m talking about the bass guitar player from the movie The Blues Brothers.
Now your probably saying oh yeah I remember him, well there’s more to him than The Blues Brothers, his early career was with a band Booker T and the M.G.s. He later played with such greats as Otis Redding, and Sam & Daves’ “Hold On, I’m Comin”. He has played with the likes of Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart. He was the bass player on “Stop Draggin My Heart Around” a song by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty.
In 1998 he along with Fender came up with a candy apple red Precision Bass using a 1950s style bass, it also featured a gold anodized pickguard. This later led to the Skyline Series bass guitar made by a company out of Lakland, Chicago.
