It is hard to see whether or not the ashtray was on in that video. But what is interesting is that Jet was not using a plectrum, but rather was using his thumb. Did Jet actually not use a plectrum on Apache? If so, our bassist will be happy.
This is of course a staged version of Apache, with the recorded piece synched I think, and not an ideal reference (the use of the Jazzmaster, for instance). But Hank also seems to either switch pickups or adjust the volume control for the middle muted section.
