As I remember the short-lived Fender Duck Dunn Signature was MIJ, one-peice maple neck, only came in CAR, and had the anodized guard. I do recall an interview with Duck (probably in Bassics Mag.) around that time where he nicely voiced some dissapointment with FMIC for resisting what he really wanted, but I don't recall the details. Shortly after that his friend Bob Glaub introduced him to Laklands. I saw Duck with CSNY in 2000, and he had two Lakland Bob Glaubs (a gold one he played all night and a red one in the rack) as well as his famous P bass (the 'burst maple neck with the anodized guard the little sticker of a duck on it) in the rack too. He only played the gold one, even though his tech took all three out of the rack during the intermission and retuned them all.
