| from online This model became known as the |
| Howlin Wolf bass because it was used by the Wolf |
| s bassist, Andrew Blueblood McMahon. You can hear |
| it on early recordings and see it on some of the |
| surviving footage of Howlin Wolf shows. While |
| there is regrettably not a lot of footage of |
| Howlin Wolf performances, it s well worth looking |
| for. On later footage, McMahon uses a solidbody |
| Gibson EB bass. More recently, the K162 has been |
| used by Sheryl Crow s bassist.The K162 features a |
| hollow, closed body with a flat top with twin |
| longitudinal tone bars, no sound post, and an |
| arched laminated back. It has the distinctive |
| hollowbody resonance but with feedback resistance. |
