Steve Rodby (born December 9, 1954 in Joliet, Illinois) is an American bassist.
He joined the Pat Metheny Group in 1981. Prior to joining Metheny, he was a member of the Simon-Bard Group and the Fred Simon ensemble. Rodby continues to collaborate with Simon as of 2011.
Rodby studied bass at Northwestern University, a student of Warren Benfield of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. While at Northwestern, Rodby fell under the influence of master jazz artist Rufus Reid who both taught at NU and also studied with Benfield. Rodby quickly became the call bassist for the Jazz Showcase in Chicago, playing with many famous jazz artists. Rodby currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.
He has collaborated with Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays. He collaborated as composer and musician with Fred Simon and Paul McCandless on two albums: Since Forever (Naim Audio, 2009) and Remember The River (Naim Audio, 2004). In 2011 Rodby joined forces once again with drummer Paul Wertico (alongside Israeli musicians Danny Markovitch (sax), and Dani Rabin (guitar)) on Marbin's record Breaking the Cycle.
Excellent! If you are not satisfied with Pat's first solo, then wait for the other one...
Steve has a nice 2 min. part between the two.
The intro had to be cut out because of the time limitation.

Steve Rodby & the AMT S25B
The S25B is an electret-condenser microphone that has been designed for acoustic bass. All of the parameters that are problematic for the double bass have been addressed. To be able to get the most gain before feedback it uses a very tight pattern to give a high rejection to surrounding noise, at the same time reproducing accurately the subtleties of the bass. As placement is especially important with an instrument that has a fine finish and varying dimensions, this microphone's attachment mechanism is designed to secure the mic to the bass in different positions taking seconds to attach. This mechanism is fitted with natural soft suede so as not to mark or mar instrument.
Made from aluminum to keep the mass low yet extremely strong, this microphone will remain durable through many years...

The S25B is an electret-condenser microphone that has been designed for acoustic bass. All of the parameters that are problematic for the double bass have been addressed. To be able to get the most gain before feedback it uses a very tight pattern to give a high rejection to surrounding noise, at the same time reproducing accurately the subtleties of the bass. As placement is especially important with an instrument that has a fine finish and varying dimensions, this microphone's attachment mechanism is designed to secure the mic to the bass in different positions taking seconds to attach. This mechanism is fitted with natural soft suede so as not to mark or mar instrument.
Made from aluminum to keep the mass low yet extremely strong, this microphone will remain durable through many years of use. The flex arm is easy to position yet retains it's placement throughout the most active of performances. The mic has an LED that can be easily seen while performing. This indicates status of a battery or phantom power.
The pre-amp for the microphone is rugged anodized aviation aluminum, which houses the electronics that can be placed on the floor. The pre-amp runs off of battery or phantom power. The output is terminated with a male XLR type connector for balanced use. The mic is connected to the pre-amp by a four pin locking connector.
