Linus27 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Is the bass part on Ben E King's Stand By Me played on a double bass? It sure sounds like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Certainly sounds like it it is. Although I usually play it on my Ashbory or NS electric upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
