Clarky Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just found this cool page about Elvis' bass player, Bill Black, and his first Fender bass. it's probably been posted before, although I don't specifically recall it. I do though recognise the shot of Elvis playing the bass from 99ster's avatar. http://scottymoore.net/56PBass.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hey Clarky, thanks for that. Just been reading up about Bill Black. Never heard of him before and such a shame he died only 39. Really interesting reading. Paul McCartney has his old double bass but I wonder what happened to that 56' Precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
