Law and Orderbacker

Post by ozover50 »

I was paying vague attention to an episode of Law and Order while making dinner a couple of nights ago and heard the word "Rickenbacker". Quickly turned around to the TV and there was a bass headstock in the frame. The detectives were discussing how somebody with apparent limited means could afford one. One of them mentioned that Elvis had one. When questioned by the other detective about that he said "Elvis Costello".

Didn't know that he played bass. Odd that I happened to be "Watching The Detective" at the time......... :wink: :wink:

There is also a model 330 FG in an episode of one of the L&O series, I can't remember which one. The funny thing about that one is that we see the person (holding the guitar) reflected in a mirror (or window glass), so it looks as if the guitar were a left-handed one.
