The Wrecking Crew played on thousands of tracks.

Glen Campbell was a part of TWC and borrowed Carol Kaye’s 6-strinbg bass to play the solo on “Wichita Lineman”

A lot of the players considered Campbell as the band’s leader if there was to be one. Kaye lead in to “These Boots Were Made For Walkin’” gave a lot of bass players something to think about. LOL.

By the way, Carol Kaye was a guitarist first. She actually started as a jazz guitarist, but played guitar on rock records as a session guitarist in the 50's. She got bred eventually and switched to bass.

For a jazz guitarist, playing rock guitar is really boring. It's like asking a piano player to pay chopsticks all day.
