Vinnie Bell, RIP

[Michedelic]

Fairly unknown, but very influential east coast session guitarist, developer of the electric sitar, purveyor of the baritone guitar and oil can reverb, these are probably his highest profile tracks...

Sorry to hear this, I was aware of Vinnie Bell through his playing and work with Danelectro close to where I grew up.

RIP Mr. Bell.

Oh no!
His electric sitar was a milestone in oddball instruments that developed a sizeable niche in popular music. Always wanted one.
