Check out this obsessive ‘was Reggie the Bassist or not’ riff in The Archies' wiki.

The Archies are sometimes jokingly compared to the seminal '60s rock band The Doors, as the Doors also had no bass player. However, there is some controversy over whether Reggie played bass or not; in most drawings, his guitar looks identical to Archie's, making him the band's second (or co-lead) guitarist. On the other hand, a number of drawings (including the one above) clearly show the instrument to have four tuning keys, the most common bass design. In addition, there are six-string bass guitars, and the recordings of the Archies' songs regularly featured a bass player, suggesting that Reggie in fact was the bass player. Also, it should be noted that for the product description for The Archies Christmas Album, Reggie was stated as the bass guitarist.

It should be noted that in a mid-'90s story, a conversation between Jughead and Betty in the opening panels state Reggie as being the group's bass player, as well as a story edited in more recent issues. However, because storylines and hobbies/activities in the Archie world change from story to story, these two stories cannot be considered canon.

Seriously, that’s plane spotting obsessed. That person is an anorak clad thermos holder no mistake. That’s up with those idiots I heard vox popping on ABC radio who gasmed about being present at Wimbledon for the first official during tournament roof closure.
