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

[Tim Huskisson]

You may well be right. I just listened to it and clearly the slap bass part
is a feature. For the remainder of the record the bass is actually played
with the bow, which was not unusual for early electric recordings. 


"...And wasn't the earliest 'slap bass' on record Steve Brown's solo near
the end of Jean Goldkette's 'Dinah' recorded in January 1926 (Victor
19947)?"
