[78-L] Use of double bass in dance bands

[Tim Huskisson]

I'm sure that's true. 'Slap Bass' was often a feature of Dance and Jazz
recordings after the changeover from Brass Bass (circa 1928/1929) to the
early 1930s. It's almost as though it was felt necessary to draw attention
to the fact that there was actually a Double-Bass in the band.

"...I think part of the changeover from brass to string bass came from
development of the jazz plucked-bass technique, including slapping."
