Duff's bass tone is like a warm blanket.
For me, Duff plays bass properly. He understands the bass playing religion. You can’t be selfish as your role is to support other musicians in the band. Without your support, properly deployed, the band doesn’t work. Like he says, if you’re looking to be the focus of attention then the bass isn’t the instrument for you. My bass players - Duff, Lemmy, Paul Simonon.

Absolutely love this man. He was very influential and iconic to me growing up as a young bass player. He knew his role and thus helped me understand where bass fits in. Izzy played his way as did Slash. They did not mirror parts at all. Duff found a sticking point with the drums and created his own creative lines and drove the rhythm home. Legendary if you ask me.

Yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about. I have always called that the 'Duff Bounce'. The bounce, in combination with his rattly, tone with a lot of high end makes the transition between chords interesting. There is a metallic rattle or clank to his playing that is very tasteful. It shouldn't be, but it is.
This video was not long enough. I kinda need this bass in my life. That jam towards the end though. YES.
I recently took up bass, it’s been fun, it was also awesome to discover that the 3 bassists I like most are all pickers like me not finger players. Duff, lemmy and Paul McCartney.

YES…! My favorite artist video so far. Most people try to shred and show their chops. I like that the most successful bassist of them all doesn’t go there. He just plays a bit, with a guitar player, which is cool, and mostly talks about his inspiration and story. How cool. Love it ❤
Maybe my favorite bass player great attitude and great chemistry with slash learning his bass lines from appetite was very instrumental in my own aspirational style thanks man killer bass tone

$1200. Kinda where I thought it price point at. Not sure how many Kids are gonna be able to swing that? My first Bass cost me $300 and took me a whole Summer to pay off (still have it too)! Duff is a nice laid back dude and considering how his career went it's nice to see that.

Yeah, definitely not cheap but honestly that's pretty good for an artist series bass from Fender, especially with unique features like the all black neck and headstock that seperate it from other basses. Don't get me wrong, I love GnR and Duff but I'm considering grabbing this bass just because it seems like a really solid bass and it's unique. But you have a point, it's going to take me a summer of working to get it or similar Fender basses in this price range.
