Rick Danko

This picture shows Danko with his Ampeg AMUB-1 Fretless bass, which was put up for auction in 2014.

Danko can be seen playing a Gibson Ripper in this photo.

Danko used the Fender Jazz Bass during the early days of The Band and also when they backed up Bob Dylan. The photo is him on the left in the hat.

Danko played a Bass VI before switching to conventional bass guitar models. This was of course well before the 1968 formation of The Band.

Danko can be seen in this photo playing a Fender Precision Bass.
