I've seen a fiar share of Interviews done by Aston, I wanted to know what kind of Amp he used in the 70's and if possible spefications of that particular amp

Thanks

Yeah, I'd love to know this too. I've seen a lot of videos as well but could only glean that he played a fender jazz bass or sometimes a p bass. and then there is a difference between what he played live and what he played in the studio. very talented musicians with coveted sounds are often reluctant to release details of their signal chain.

i did see one interview where he described building his first bass himself and trying to emulate an acoustic bass sound with his electric. but i couldn't tell if he was puttin' it on the interviewer. either way you could see how into his sound he was.

I will try to ask his son Aston Jr as soon as I reach him online on skype, and then I will let you know

I asked to Aston Jr and he told me that his dad was using an ACU amplificator. Hope this info will help you.

I never new he was also playing a precision.

I'm also very interested in what Amps he would use!

I know he's very fond of Ampeg amps, heads and cabs. Uses them now and did with Bob.
