Music videos that feature EB0 to EB4 and SG variant basses...

[Dave W]

I think an Epi Newport qualifies as an EB-0 for purposes of this thread.

The video was linked in a Colin Moulding interview article from last year that I just saw today.

From that article:
"Then again, I've also got an Epiphone Newport, which I bought in 1979, not because I like the sound of it but because I like the look of it! It has a light body, a narrow neck and it's easy to play. If you totted up all the hours I've played bass, the Newport would far outweigh all the others."

I mixed the support band when they played in Wellington in 1980 . He played the Newport but in noticed it went through a Urei parametric e.q. before the signal hit the SVT.Sounded BIG.

Was this one already mentioned? The bass is nicely audible and I like the laid back playing. One of my favourtie Cat Power songs. Wait for the up tempo part in the end

John Waite with an EB-3 (vocals are live, the rest of the instruments are not, but they do sound different from the record)

Black Oak Arkansas 1974. Pat "Dirty" Daugherty on a probably at that time a pretty much new EB-3. Skip to 1:57 if you can't stand Jim Dandys guttering holws and twiddling on the washboard.

It does sound like they dropped a little of the high range stuff.

Good to see the bass whisperer, Ed Friedland back on You Tube. Here we see Ed discovering "the sound of a city block falling" while he plays a 53' EB at the Guitar shop in Brooklyn. EB action starts after 9:10.

[Basvarken]

But that's not a mudbucker Mr. Friedland!

[Dave W]

Nice! Since he obviously likes it, I'll forgive him for not knowing it's a single coil.

I met him at Summer NAMM in Austin in 2006, we talked for a bit. Reading his old columns in BP, he came off as kind of stuffy, but he wasn't like that at all in person.

[Granny Gremlin]

Really wasn't expecting the extreme closeup of what looks like an EB2D (2:57; maybe a few other places).  Remember the song being a hit but don't think I've ever seen the vid before.



Ah, yeah a longer more zoomed out shot starts at 3:50; headstock is in shadow.

Trevor Bolder on Top Of The Pops with David Bowie.

A little mistake at 2:58 where Trevor wants to go into the chorus too early

wow my new favourite version of one of my favourite Bowie songs, love hearing the bass high in the mix and the harp is fab too

I'd LOVE it if that were the biggest mistake I made in any number I played!

Funny, he does that on the album version as well
