Steve Jones recorded most of the bass parts for the Sex Pistols' "Never Mind the Bollocks," with Glen Matlock and Sid Vicious contributing only to specific tracks. In an interview, Jones mentioned using a Fender Precision and an Ampeg amplifier, likely the Ampeg SVT-CL Classic. According to the Premier Guitar article "Maximum Energy: The Gear of the Original Punks," Sid Vicious used an Ampeg SVT-CL to emulate Dee Dee Ramone’s setup. It is plausible that the same Ampeg SVT-CL was used during the recording of the album.

In a July 1996 interview with the UK magazine Total Guitar, guitarist Steve Jones confirmed his use of the Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp. He attributed "half the sound" of his guitar tone to this amp, noting a unique characteristic where "only one speaker was [working] and so it overdried the other one." This statement directly links Steve Jones to the Vox AC30, providing clear evidence of his utilization of this specific guitar amplifier.
