Ross Valory's Gear
According to this forum, Valory recorded the Escape album and played the Escape tour with an Ovation Magnum II.
If you pause at 2:36 in the video, you see Ross Valory playing his iconic Steinberger L2 bass, which was mainly used on the Frontiers album (1983). If you look real closely at the pickups, you can see that it has no pickup rings, meaning it was not an XT-2, which someone else stated previously. The XT-2 wasn't introduced until way after the L2, and by the time it was introduced, Ross had switched to Jackson basses. The XT-2 also came with pickup rings, which the early Steinberger basses did not have. Ross himself did not talk about his basses very much, or mention them all that often, but from looking at the bass, it appears to be a Steinberger L2.
In an interview with BassPlayer.com, Ross Valory discusses using the Ampeg SVT-CL Classic bass amplifier head.
The bass cabinet as listed by Ampeg as part of Valory's private collection.
