Sinatra Show - March 1960 -> Name The Band!

Now, may we dare to ascertain the names of the acoustic and electric bass players?
Presley Nashville session pro Bob Moore confirms he did NOT go to Miami for the taping. And it's not Joe Comfort, from the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, on either bass.
If there's a will, there's a way!
Elvis Presley: vocals
Jordanaires (off camera): backing vocals, hand claps
Scotty Moore: electric guitar
unknown: acoustic bass
Stan Musick: electric bass
D. J. Fontana: drums
Anselmo Sacasas : piano *
* = Fontainebleau Hotel music director
UPDATE: April 2009
As per a new post below, Stan Musick has been identified as the electric bass player. One down, one to go!
UPDATE: April 2015
A newly-surfaced rehearsal photo gives us our first full shot of the mysterious acoustic bass player's face:
He has somewhat haunting eyes, and sallow cheeks. Who is this man? It's been almost 55 years since the Sinatra program was broadcast, and we still don't know. Anyone?
UPDATE: November 2017
Thanks to FECC member Greybeard finding a remarkable 1964 TV clip featuring several of the Nashville A Team, another possibility is upon us:
Could the mysterious acoustic bass player be Ray Edenton? See new comments on page 4!
