Duck Dunn played with Booker T and the MG's and with the original Blues Brother's bands in both movies.
He was touring with his good friend Steve Cropper in Japan when he passed away.
He played a Candy apple red Fender Precision bass with a Jazz bass neck. A particularly cool combo IMHO.
I don't know if ever had a chance to play a G&L. I think he would've dug the L-1000 or L-2k.

God Bless Donald Duck Dunn Rest in Peace.
If thine enemy wrong thee, buy each of his children a drum.
