Talk:Donald "Duck" Dunn

Musical equipment section
It says that he acquired his first bass at 16, a 1958 model Fender Precision Bass. If he was born in 1941 then how could he be 16 in 1958? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.78.183.102 (talk) 15:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * He would have been 16 for most of 1958, until Nov 24, his birthday, when he turned 17. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

But then it reads the bass was a '59 model, so something's wrong here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amnet (talk • contribs) 17:04, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Personal Life
Is this really relevant to have a one line sentence to say his first grandchild was born in that year? so what!Yellowxander (talk) 11:32, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

"died in his sleep" is not adequate information
even regardless of his relatively young age (70), such a statement is meaningless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.122.94 (talk) 10:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you be more specific? Why is this piece of information inadequate?-- GoP T C N 11:04, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Presumably, the cause of his death would be nice to know. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:30, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Additional citations
The maintenance template at the top of the page asks for additional citations. It would be helpful if someone would list here what needs to be cited and/or add citation needed in the appropriate places in the article. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 15:58, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Practically, the whole article, which is why I added the Refimprove instead of individual citation neededs. For example, /* Early life */ is completely unsupported as well as numerous statements in /* Career */, e.g., "Stax became known...", "...were influential", "which featured basslines that to this day serve as a source of inspiration for hip-hop artists". says who? Much of this would count as Original research unless it can be supported independently. &mdash; J. Wong (talk) 17:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
