bassgurumonster Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Can anyone tell me for certain which model he played? I'm reading conflicting results on tinterweb. Some say a Viper 1, Magnum 2 or other. The body shape pics taken from the Escape tour is quite full with the sliders. Any guesses?

pete.young Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) The image I posted in this old for sale thread (about half way down) clearly shows him playing an Ovation Magnum 2. Of course, he might well have had more than one bass. Edited March 17, 2020 by pete.young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 A quick Google reveals loads of photos of Ross playing a Jackson and a Musicman in later years, but the only photos I could find of him with Journey show him playing an Ovation Magnum II. A totally brain-dead thread from 2005 on the Ovation FanClub site focuses on the alleged sale on eBay of his alleged Viper 3 bass (seriously ) which he allegedly played on the Escape album. The accompanying photo of course shows a Magnum III (with knobs, not sliders) on which someone has scrawled some sort of a signature in black sharpy. It is all way less than convincing. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet the farm on the Ovation Magnum II and nothing else. Why do you need to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassgurumonster Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 I saw that thread which is why i brought the question up. I might be interested in getting one in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
