Where's the "like" button? You know, something about that song and it's arrangement reminds me a bit of the Flying Burrito Brothers.

Well, we're getting far afield from my original question of the use of a Rickenbacker BASS in country/western. Wonder if there are/were any others.

Paul, that is because in country they do use wooden log huts, but they're simply not swiss ski lodges!
If I think country and electric instruments somehow only bands with Fenders come to mind!

Good catch! Hard to catch because the shots are just close-ups and go by so fast.wmthor wrote:Here's another Ric sighting.
So is it a 620 or a 360 or something else?
Re: A "first" in country?
Looks like a 600 series, but don't know my models. It sounds wonderful in that song.
Re: A "first" in country?
620 in White/BT.

Paul, what about the Blue Boy bass that was used in Jim Reeves' band?bassduke49 wrote:Well, we're getting far afield from my original question of the use of a Rickenbacker BASS in country/western. Wonder if there are/were any others.

Here's me with my 4003 getting ready to play at a breast cancer benefit we did in drag a few months ago. Don't judge me.
Re: A "first" in country?
Ooh! Cute outfit!

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
