Roy Orbison on Ed Sullivan w/ Ricenbacker bass
I saw this on PBS the other night and found the same clip on YouTube. The best shots of the bass begin at 1:59 into the video. I'm not sure of the year. Enjoy.

I always liked that song, now I know why!
Looks like they were taking off the bridge p/u covers even back then!
I wonder where that bass is today.....

The only time a bass player gets noticed is when he stops playing.

Well, Pretty Woman was at it's chart peak on 9-5-64, so it's probably a '63 or early '64? Beautiful early Deluxe jobber in Mapleglo. Looks like black knobs with no silver inserts too. And, depending on my monitor quality, perhaps no thumbrest either. Nice shots!

That is most definitely not synched. You can see the placement of the drums and piano to avoid any leakage into the Roy's mic. The mix is completely different than the single release and you can hear the ambient drum reverb all over the mix as well. The piano is drowned out by the snare.
Great version.
