Is that an EB-2 or a Rivoli, hard to catch it and the upper and lower horn look kind of weird?

That was an invigorating train wreck of a performance!

Gibson made at least one ES-355, presumably accidentally, that had a pointy horn and a rounder horn, presumably around the 1963 changeover period in the design. I suppose it is possible that they could have similarly messed up a Rivoli or EB-2 bass.

Another 90s reissue Rivoli - Does it still count if it has a Dimarzio instead of the Mudbucker?  8)

Well, it's not an EB2 or Rivoli but it's at least a Gibson hollowbody and not exactly the kind of music I would expect to see one in.

I watched it with the volume off to save my soul. ;D

Pretty sure I saw this tour at the Riviera in Chicago. One of the loudest shows I've ever been to. And there's a good chance Barker is playing through the '72 SVT I sold him around '91.

That's a Gibson EB 750.

Bingo! Rob got it.

I'm not a huge fan of the Barts that they put in them but you can still get some half-way decent tones from one.

If we started a thread for music videos featuring the EB 650 and 750 it would be very short unless Uwe gets busy with a videocam.

A smattering of EB-750 vids!  :o

A bit of a detour, but I spotted a Les Paul Signature bass in this video:

In my personal hell, this tune is playing on an endless loop. That way madness surely lies.

Also a wild Rivoli sighting.

Both bands are a bit of a lame '50s throwback really. I saw both clips on a BBC compilation show earlier today.


Ooof. And I personally like the original. But that was so milquetoast.

Barely visible Rivoli but the tone is just right.
