Dano havejust done a re-issue of the one used by Eric Clapton in Cream and a 59 used by Jimmy Page (Jimmy Page talks about some records he used it on here)

I THINK THE SOLO ON WICHITA LINEMAN WAS PLAYED ON A DANO [arg! capslockckckckc] bass, if i remember. campbell is also a notorious religious hater of homosexuals, so maybe he was seeing into the future.

Nope, that's a Bass VI. But nice try.

it's a bass VI on that youtube clip, not on the recording.
The bass solo was played by Campbell himself on a Danelectro six-string bass borrowed from friend and session bassist Carol Kaye; the pulsing effect is tremolo from a Fender amplifier. On a 1969 appearance on the Smothers Brothers TV show, Campbell played the solo on a Fender Bass VI six-string bass guitar.
so swivel on that.

Unless you can correctly attribute that quote, it's only WORDS IN THE WIND, wee man.

obviously it's anecdotal (from wikipedia), but we've all seen plenty bands poncing about on top of the pops mysteriously getting piano sounds out of organs, so something used in a mimed performance is no more evidence of what's on the record than said anecdote.

I know. I'd just always assumed it was a Bass VI. The rest of my questioning was purely because you look so cute when you get a bee in your bonnet.

as long as it's been played by Jimmy Page, it sounds far enough to me....
