Just saw a post on TB that Jess Oliver has passed away.  trying to confirm.   IMHO only man more important than Jesse to the bassworld would be Leo.  RIP

It's on Ampeg's FB page, I would say that's confirmation. RIP.

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.
