RIP Jack Bruce
The incomparable Jack Bruce passed away today. I think he was the first to bring virtuosic electric bass playing to the forefront in a rock context (an argument could be made for Entwistle, too). JB was a great vocalist, too, and his ability to sing and play fretless (after his Cream days) boggles the mind.

Totally agree, HS. When learning bass he & Donald “Duck” Dunn were my two main influences. Along with John Entwhistle. The three greatest bassists in rock history IMHO.
