I can say the same about Jack Bruce that Lemmy said about Jimi Hendrix---

The world will never see the likes of him again.

Yes - to me he changed what the bass guitar was seen as capable of. A huge influence on me - I'm glad I heard about it here at the Outpost.

Same here. He was one of the real pioneers.

He gave all he had for as long as he could.

The sixties... my mind is going... I can feel it...

rip Mr Bruce... enjoy the jamming... and thanks for all the lessons...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

His basslines are eternal and his spirit and influence live on through all he influenced. Well done son.

That's a pretty great legacy to leave. RIP

Wow, Another great gone.

Got my first bass gig as a kid after I was asked if I could play "Sunshine of Your Love."

R.I.P Jack.

Here is a little more info, including some brief comments by some notable people.  Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, of course, etc.

Deserted cities of the heart indeed.  :-\ Thanks for bringing electric bass playing to where it is today, Jack.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Very sad news. He's the kind of player that, even for those of us that weren't big Cream fans for one reason or another (I can't really explain it)  ... no-one could deny his impact or importance to us all. A pioneer for sure. Apart from the cool basslines, he was an interesting writer: whenever I think of a Cream melody that I liked, it was him.   Thanks for being here Mr. Bruce.
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy

I'm not a Facebook user.  But it appears this is taken from Eric Clapton's FB page and is entitled "For Jack."
