Dumb Question

[Ed2Strings]

Does anyone know what kind of bass that is, that the bass player in Johnny Cash's band, played in the Folsom Prison scene? Here is the scene, it may be hard to make out. Thank you , in advance.

well, you only see the headstock for like <2seconds, but a G&L maybe?

It's an Epiphone solid body, but I can't tell what model it is.

Older accubass?

No, I don't think it'd be an Accubass. They usually try to use period-correct gear in these movies. I think it might be the bass model corresponding to the Coronet guitar.

The concert was in 1968. The bass player was Marshall Grant. But it's hard to find any info on what bass he used for the concert.

 

[Ed2Strings]

I thought it may be a guild or an older epi, it's deffinately not a G&L, they weren't around in 68, I don't think.

 

[lonote]

It definitely has an Epiphone headstock.

irrc, I remember reading that he used an Epiphone Embassy.
