Anything involving Steve Swallow

I think Chris Squire used a Jazz sometimes, but he played a lot of different basses over the years. Who was the guy that played for "The Band", didn't he play a Ripper?

The B-15 maybe older than suggested by the serial number. The schematic under the amp might indicate 1964 or slightly earlier.

Rick Danko. Also lead vocals on some songs. Started on a J early on, but moved to an Ampeg fretless and a Ripper.

Chris also used a modified Telecaster bass early on.

I jest of course, but over the years there's been a lot of great music made in all genres that didn't involve the most popular brand.......

For example, Mountain

Yer the bestest.
I get a bit tired of, “You have to have a P! All your favorite songs were recorded with a P!”
Please list all the songs Phil Lesh, Jack Casady, and Paul McCartney recorded with a P. I’ll give them Stu Cook and Duck Dunn.

FWIW(notalot), I've never even held a P Bass.

not a P... but a J - note how he moved his jack into the top V position.

Really good interview with Geddy Lee, related to his memoir that just came out.

Interesting! I tend to like 1.5" nut width, so I roll my own P basses.
With Labella flats, they make "that sound", but so do a number of other basses.

guys at the Ampeg club are really good about responding and have a wealth of knowledge. there’s also a 60’s Ampeg club and I’d be willing to bet there’s a B-15/18 club as well….heads up..

Those Ampeg guys are kind of nutty--have their own club....obsess and talk about Ampeg all the time.....
Said the kettle...

You're right, there's a huge amount of knowledge there and most all are great about wanting to be helpful.
