Bob Glaub with a Teisco Bass.

[IMMusicRulz]

Hi everyone. I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar with Bob Glaub. He is a very well known bass player in Los Angeles and has played on the album Atlantic Crossing by Rod Stewart and on The Pretender by Jackson Browne.

He has played Lakland/Dan Lakin bass guitars for several years, but also owns a Washburn acoustic bass and a 1964 Precision Bass.

I wanted to show you a video of him at Norman's Rare Guitars in Los Angeles playing a Teisco bass.

Teisco. Made in Japan. Teisco had a range of amps and guitars sold in the USA.

Yeah, I think Eastwood tried to sue them.

I really love Bob Glaub and I wish people knew about him. His bass playing really reminds me of Rick Danko from The Band.

My favorite song Bob Glaub played bass on is probably Somebody's Baby by Jackson Browne.

Bob Glaub is a GREAT player. I saw a video of Johnny Paycheck playing one of these on a live video, he was actually a very good bass player. That Teisco sounds great. It sounded good with Paycheck too. Actually I found it, was pretty easy, i opened for him once but he was playing guitar:

Teisco's were re-branded by Sears, Montgomery Wards, etc. I played in several 60's garage bands and Tesico's were the only guitars/basses used. The action and quality was hit or miss but the styling was 100%!
Both of these Pro's show that they look awesome and can play great! I'm always looking on-line for one but the decent one's still fetch a pretty good price...at least for my budget.

Here's Bob Glaub playing a Fender Precision with.110 La Bella flats on it, who says you can't slap big flatwounds? He also did a few other tunes on this great album.

This is another example of what is possible if you play and stop worrying about looks and brand names.
