Can't remember if these guys are represented in this thread yet, but I just came across a later period track that I wasn't familiar with that has really good shots of a White EB3.

Really like this video.
Good playing. Good explaning what he's doing and what the modifications are.

I like it when someone does a modification that is actually well thought of, instead of just hacking for the sake of it. Or following the latest hype.

Agreed. Also, I'm impressed by the tone of the Model One in that bass.

That's flippin' great, thanks! I've always loved that track. Didn't realize until now that he played it with a pick. This track always reminds me of playing Maine West High School in May of 1982, and asking my (now) wife out for the first time.  :-*

Great playing.
But I still think the bass on the entire album sounds hilarlously crappy ...   :-X

Blasphemy! The EB-3 is what made that album sound so classic in all it's grunty fuzzy hot and slightly overdriven glory.

Just because I love Beck playing the Esquire.

Haha, I knew I wouldn't get away with this remark on this forum.

But I think Randy Rhoads guitar playing is what made this album sound so classic. And not the plop-plop-plop bass sound of Mr Daisley.
It' s not Bob's fault or the EB3. It's just the production that makes it sound so horrible.

When I had Blizzard on vinyl, I don't recall the mix sounding so great either. A little like it was recorded in a dumpster under water. The 2011 re release CD sounded clearer but still maintained the aggressive rough feel. Randy was definitely cooking too, along with the whole band.

I agree.

It sounded different from any other recorded bass sounds of the time, totally individual and I believe it was a conscious move by Daisley who had been a P Bass player with Widowmaker and Rainbow and to my knowledge never played the EB live with Ozzy, he was really just looking for that sound to record. His pick attack is so hard and swift that it works with the EB even if you have Randy Rhoads beside you. I read an interview where he said that he is still happy about the sound on that first Ozzy album today.

But even with long scale basses, Daisley prefers a middish honk edge in his sound if he gets his say soundwise (and is not just a session man) as he did with his own project Mothers Army:

Bob's the best and his tone is great on that Mother's Army tune, but why are the guys from Phish singing on it?

It's probably from Turner's years in a New Jersey covers band (Ezra or whatever their name was), he's real good at emulating other people, doing different styles, too good sometimes.

Just listen to him doing the singer/songwriter thing here at 3.00:

This stuff is real rare, I never knew that anything of his career pre-Fandango existed, much less on youtube. And better still: The Ezra bassist plays an EB so it's all VERY connected!

Not stray from subjects we must.
