1968.

Is that a Rick bass? I can't confirm it, but it sounds like it. Opinions?

I always thought so but I think it was a Fender played with a pick, maybe Joe Osbourne? All thier stuff sounded like a Ric bass

I think it was Joe but it was a later recording that Brian Cole could have played on. And it could have been Larry Knechtel, who was on "Birthday" along with Hal Blaine (drums). Knechtel also played bass on the Byrds "Mr Tambourine Man," according to studio logs on one of the Byrds sites. When I saw the Association live in 1968 at my college, Brian played a Jazz with a pick. BTW, they used six Shure columns and two Shure "mini-mixers" as sound -- the sound man mixed from the front row. This in a fieldhouse used for basketball. And it sounded great!

Joe played a picked Jazz too, he has the original protoypte, imagine what that's worth?
The bass on their records sounds like a picked flatwound jazz, very similar to a Ric flatwound sound to me. Shure columns, haha!
