    You are absolutely correct - I think that is a bass that was made by Mark Dan a local engineer/ bass player in our area I think the Lakland was given to him a couple of years after this video - I do love watching Levon humping that bass into submission Thanks again

    Thanks for sending - The bass in the video was his go to bass for the last 20 years of his life -I don't know the brand but it is a red 4 string. I'm not sure if he ever played the 5 string Lakland on stage. Anyway thanks so much for doing the research Frank C

    I had the fun task of playing the Ampeg Baby with Rick and Levon Probably had the original strings Not much tone but that helped hide my bad intonation

    Rick Danko's bass of choice

    I have Rick's Lakland - it was given to me shortly before he passed. I contacted Dan Lakin - He thought he gave Rick a 4 string but said it could have been a five. Bottom Line ( no pun) I'm looking for photos of Rick with the Lakland
