Steppenwolf's Bassist

Post by tallpat1 »

Nick St. Nicholas just ripping up on his Rick 4001 since this is a B&W video I can't tell what color my guess is MG. I have seen other vids of steppenwolf doing this song in color he was playing a 4005FG. Based on the steppwolf website the orignal basisst on the recording of Born To be Wild was Rushton Moreves. However, in this video circa 1969 Nick St Nicholas was in the band.

Agreed, Monarch is playing a Combo 800.
