Notable Instruments
In 2006, the Country Music Hall of Fame ran an exhibit called "Big Bass Men" in tribute to Junior Huskey and Roy Huskey, Jr. The display featured an upright bass—made in Czechoslovakia in the 1880s—that both father and son had used on countless recordings. Another notable instrument Huskey inherited from his father was a Gibson 1920 Style-J mando bass. The elder Huskey (confusingly nicknamed "Junior") owned two of the Style-J instruments and had given one to Roy Acuff. The other remained in the Roy Huskey, Jr. estate following his death and was on loan for a time to bass player Dave Pomeroy.

“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
