skankdelvar Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 He also had lots of R&D input in the early days, along with Freddie Tavares (who did the opening steel guitar swoop for the Loonytunes theme) and was responsible, in part, for the brilliant 50's-60's ad campaigns. Came up with the name "Stratocaster" and, later on, founded Randall Amps (say Ta, all you metallers). Unsung hero. Quote

noelk27 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Donald D Randall ... One of the originals who brainstormed with Leo, and who was there at the conception of the modern electric bass. A legend. Quote
