Thanks, I kind of figured that standard bass was still primarily being used in the studios, probably for quite some time after the introduction of the Precision Bass.  Of the recordings I've been able to track down, there is quite a similarity of tone between the standard acoustic bass and the Fender bass, although the Fender is more distinct.  It just goes to show how well Leo did in capturing the sound of an acoustic with the original Precision.  Thanks again for the reply.

... bass.  The books I have mention Monk Montgomery, The Bill Black Combo, and Dave Myers with The Four Aces and Little Walter, but little else.  Does anyone know of a discography of the earliest recordings with a Fender bass?  Thanks for any help.
