As an electric bass player, I'd like to add that Donald "Duck" Dunn is a bonafide
Electric Bass God and one of the absolute
masters of "
feel over chops." Also, for what it's worth, he's
white.
The eloquence and power of Dunn's basslines make my case, especially the ballads: listen to his work on Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness" and Sam & Dave's "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" and you'll hear just how great a bassist can be. But if you want Dunn's pure soul power riffs, try the basslines on Sam & Dave's "Soul Man" or Arthur Conley's "Sweet Soul Music" and turn that bass UP.
My advice to would-be electric bassists: check out the Duck before you try to emulate Victor Wooten. It's easy to slave away at the fretboard and impress your friends with some fast-finger feats, but emulating Dunn's feel is surprisingly challenging--just try and you'll see!
