I have nothing but respect for the man and his contributions to the bass world. I have nothing but contempt for the company that paid to dishonestly say that he was directly involved in part of their modern designs. I don't agree with some of the things he said, but for years, he was always willing to help out an all too ungrateful and uninformed bass-playing public. The man lived his life with dignity, honesty, and hard work, qualities that are increasingly rare. Rest in peace Mr. Jessup; we'll keep the filaments warm for you.
