    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.
