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

[uwe]

Hark, I have found a way to bring this EB-thread back on track in fluid continuity! All we have to do is post another squaw (forgive me, Steve, 'tis for the sake of argument and after all you overdid a bit on the make-up ...)



And then, voilà ... EB-3 (and never posted here before I believe).



Sigh, my work is done for today!

in my very unglam band we played a few sweet tunes. this was one.

i think ac/dc came after our much
shortened version of this here.

Nothing beats Tommy Seebach!

Yes there's a Gibson bass, this thread is saved!

You're right. Actual instruments mean that he wins out over Armi ja Danny.

He was unknown here until the video surfaced on YT. Another post-mortem sensation.

Here's a video with Phil X and friends doing a Kiss song.
With a very nice EB-0 (LP Jr shape)

Song starts at 14:00 minute mark.

Love that bass.  He's got a nice tone there too with whatever Fuzz/OD he's using.

More nostalgic aging boomer music: Michael Devin of current Whitesnake wielding a 19 fret Slothead EB-3L, a rare sight these days ...

LOL, even though that comment was not directed at anyone here, and meant to be an accurate if humorous representation of the marketing department's thought process, and in another thread, you're just not gonna let it go are you, and have taken to self-identifying with it.  You wear it well I suppose; own it/work it.

More devil horns though maybe.

Ha, Dave, this invalidates your claim that all SB 300ies sound dead!



Rare that someone in a pro-band plays an SB 350 300 (EDIT: Dave is - of course - right!), even rarer in a current concert!



Charles Bradley is a phenomenon - he recorded his first album at the age of 62 a few years ago, a late discovery of a soul label. The James Brown influence is overt, but I like what he does.

[Dave W]

From the bridge location, that looks like a 300 in the pic. Uwe's edit: Ouch, how you publicly humilate me, Dave!

I'm not going to listen to anything that long. What can I say? The couple I've tried sounded dead. Maybe the Badass bridge brought this one back to life.

.. But the 350 is the one with humbuckers, right?

.. But the 350 is the one with humbuckers, right?

Right, and they don't sound bad at all. But there is a sonic purity to the single coil pups of the SB 300 and 400 that makes me prefer them.

Is there a "Music videos that feature EB basses" topic ?

Anyway here's one in a 1956 performance of Little Richard.

Round the 1:06 mark there's a good shot of the bass
