Jerry scheff Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi everyone, sorry I havent been checking in. I will try to remedy that. I love to shoot off my mouse. About Elvis playing bass, he was like so many other people, he loved the bass but just to fool around on. Most of the shots of him with a bass are pr shots. I worked a lot with Costello but never saw him pick up a bass. I think Costello is a better all round musician that Presley so he probably plays so so bass. Costello is a songwriting genius in my opinion, but when i came to singing and presentaion, Presley was right up there. I'm going to go look around some more here. I spend a lot of time on my facebook page. Quite a few bass players from around the world there. Stop by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks Jerry. I guess you could say a lot of us here just fool around on bass compared to a lot of the talent you must of have seen and played with over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That bass is currently at the O2 as part of the Elvis at the O2 exhibition. I had my photo taken with it last month. It runs until August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
