rushbo Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 What a great player he was. No flash, no "party tricks", just elegant, melodic, soulful Basslines. He was an inspiration to generations of musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Realy sad about this, I met him once at the Town and Country club London in 1990. Me and my mate saw Booker T and the MGs and waitied to meet the band. We were allowed into the after gig party and got to chat with all the band . Duck signed my ticket after we had a chat about Fender necks (P v J) and how he missed playing with Al Jackson. Must have been an omen when my amp packed up during my gig last night Edited May 13, 2012 by Buzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Oh.... this is terrible news. I wasn’t a Motown fan at the time (they were just pop songs), but Stax and Atlantic? That’s where the cool bass playing was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1336890925' post='1652258'] Noooooooo! :-( RIP Duck. Oh, man... [/quote]Exactly what I said when I saw the thread title. Sad news indeed. IMO despite playing for what predominantly a soul organisation (Stax) DD laid down the template for how to play rock bass.
