Sad to report the passing of Mr. Oliver, creator of Ampeg's legendary B-15 - to my mind the sweetest bass amp ever made, head and cabinet in perfect union. If you ever have a chance to plug into one, don't pass it up!
In the conviction that no bass education is complete without at least a nodding familiarity with the instrument's technicians, I submit the following link to the Bass Player article that will give you some of Jess's backstory.
Enjoy!
