Ron Blair's Amplifiers

Mentioned by Blair in this January 2013 Bass Player article.

I took to the bass right away. Before long I was playing in a thunderous band with four Acoustic 360 stacks behind me; John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin only played through one of them!

For the most part, we go in direct with the bass, and then they also put a Neumann mic on my Ampeg B-15 with the amp cranked up, so it’s got a bit of grit to it. I’ve never used effect pedals because they make me nervous. I look at Mike Campbell sometimes and go, “Holy moly, how do you work all of those?”

Live, I’m using an Ampeg SVT Heritage from 2010, and on my Jazz Bass, D’Addario XL Pro Steels strings gauged from .045 to .105.
