Glen Campbell borrowed the 6-string bass from his fellow Wrecking Crew member, Carol Kaye, to play the break lead.

Yes- a Danelectro 6 string bass Campbell played the lead break. Wonder where that bass is now, just a Danelectro from that era is worth plenty for the tone. Had one for a long time- and was glad to see Mark Knopfler playing the same model (black/white super long neck and lipstick pickup (with some tweaking). Powerful sound back then through tube amp.

Never should have sold it. Knopfler sold at Christies his ‘83 1959 remake Les Paul end of January. for £470K!!
