Love Trevor Bolder's (RIP) tone in this one. Forgive if it's been previously posted.


 :mrgreen:

If you pause at 3:59 you can see it's a late 60's EB3 with the evertilt bridge and he's playing in varitone position 3.
Bass Player has a transcription of "Drive in Saturday" in their latest issue.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Never knew that the bass player in J Frank Wilsons Cavaliers had this kind of bass. But now, I know... http://www.lastfm.se/music/J.+Frank+Wilson+&+The+Cavaliers/+images/40433169 And a really nice bass riff it is, also!

I just realised there are no clips from 70's Aussie glam rockers "Hush" in this thread.  Please allow me to rectify that now!



Cheers

Now there's a name from the past. Sure enough, there's also a still pic showing it here (as if you couldn't tell by the sound!).





Wikipedia says Lewis Elliott was the bassist and that he took over the band when Wilson left.

It's tough to get a good bead on this one, but I believe it's a fretless.

Nice one!  At first I thought it was a Rivoli (headstock shape was stretched due to bad pause/movement in shot), but I think it's an EB2.


I love how rustic that vid is.  It's like they finished recording the song and shot the vid in the stiudio's C room right then.  Love the awkward trumpet player failing to stay out of the shot when not playing and looking like he dunno what to do with himself, the drummer with the tall boy on the monitor (nicely framed camera guy), Roland pulling a very good Desmond Decker on a casual dress day impression and some fine skank legwork all around. ... but my one biggest music vid pet peave: guitars not plugged in.  Especially inexcusable due to the location. Come on indeed.

I say Rivoli by what's bopping up in the bottom left corner at the beginning of the vid. Rivolis were popular at that time in the UK, Bruce Foxton from The Jam had one too.

I really liked the FYC too.
