Took my daughter to see him at the Forum in London the other week for the last show of the tour. Just brilliant.

But what about the basses?

Gus Dudgeon's opinion of Dee says it all really at (6:25)

You could take a look at the Guy Pratt 'Betsy Bass' from the Bass Centre. https://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bbm-betsy.html

Also the Classic Album Series e.g.

Ariane Cap's book "Music Theory for the Bass Player" is excellent and comes with links to related online content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Theory-Bass-Player-Hands/dp/0996727604/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NQVR0V3CYR1Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6HYzjfmPf79XiznRE84T3Qa-73tfUIVRPJJD9_lhW4UvhO6TgcnmQp-RxzSq6x2ebK-EfuGr5Xaj9hlyGjiv3P-Rd7DfgJ5uFsuwjRcER7GEp88JNxPaowr6r-as4YHdb6ulvVxLDtsydyAWyjDXjakXJ1wlgXEQwgcehQU3eQMm9WqnkfdmR0EHqugpqSL22Rg_NyBPqttyIS9P3SMKZohcw4I8dybf_SJjLUMJyt0lL2hCo6-l7Df0h5CYigvOw25P0ytxThQJO0yXVok5kDhR5mGK1BobhlJFEXHEkag.mTBoYz2zRv-e2fDYNM_tObZqnFpG0W05C_e6i8TlyIw&dib_tag=se&keywords=ariane+cap&qid=1724767267&sprefix=ariane+cap%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1

The footage from the Stax/Volt Revue in Norway in '67 is well worth chasing up (It's available on DVD). The director had obviously never heard of the 'keep the camera off the bassist' rule. Colourised sample of the concert on youtube as an example. I love the moment at the beginning when Dave Prater cracks Duck up.

In addition to "Standing in the Shadows.." you should also check out "Soul Fingers" which covers 'Duck' Dunn's life and has transcriptions of a variety of his bass lines. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soul-Fingers-Legendary-Bassist-Donald/dp/1495052923/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32KAAT4DT15O5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6vKu8V2XOy75fg5LEVYdjyjbOO0LFp5dKQOpPTFpE_54tVz1dq3RttvHWeuwDb_GEGr4KcYNonMEzkBmaNqRWcD1OKw3J_TUWVvNJVjVXNSpOaS4mFTZRHSeDyNQ3zNjhnYOZbjPW79f_ojyqEi_QykKXv6qYfpF_7rHTPsJqnnCaRVZtz6HXHVQvj8ak4bvyBpp_saphS_GzxhEqR6C_5KxOpcHy-CZ9-qwmXM3MGw.0T2ZHP6XV-RL80gLIPzyYF3V2bKgB_5R3NNnON19eaI&dib_tag=se&keywords=duck+dunn&qid=1724670282&sprefix=duck+dunn%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1

Excellent choice. My daughter got one of these when she was 8 and it took her all the way to Grade 8. (Nowadays she just raids my collection) 😀

Yes, but according to Adams, the '69 isn't referring to 1969

Make sure you replace the screws in the same hole they came out of. I’ve heard of case where screws of differing lengths have been used.
