I own a few REO records in my collection and felt like asking.
On songs like Don’t Let Him Go, Take It On The Run, I Don’t Want To Lose You it sounds like he is using a pick. I know for the most part his 1965 Fender Jazz Bass (affectionately called butter for its natural finish) was the primary bass he used on Hi Infidelity, but he also played a Fender Telecaster bass and some sort of Gibson bass.
But what picks did he use? I would guess, if any, that it was either a Martin pick, or something from Fender or Gibson. Definitely playing with flatwound bass strings and Ampeg amps.
But if you guys have information please let me know.
