skankdelvar Posted January 13, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelk27 Posted January 13, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
