Regular bass blog contributor Benjy sent in this great photo from an old International Society of Bassists journal that he scanned, retouched, and framed.
Benjy writes:
I’m sure that it will amuse the bass community- we can actually count the number of strings he played on! If I’m not mistaken, he was very active in adding on the low E to be able to perform the Othello solo. He dedicates the pic to Emmanuel Nelson, whoever he may have been.
