It's real. Extreme splits are kind of JCVD's signature thing. I love this commercial
Also, locally we're having a good laugh at his shopped version of the originally posted video:

I might have risked spousal ire for that one for the current price (fix n flip locally) but the seller won't ship. Looks weird but good without the binding on the body.

That looks like it'd be a good candidate for the olde Basvarken/LPSig Prototype mod. ... would using the gold-plated version of the pup be too much?

I could have gone through life not knowing that Hi-Tone exists, much less the HT200 SAP. I'm just glad that it has no onboard reverb because otherwise the near-3k I'd have to spend to own one, as well as the certain divorce, might not be enough to hold me back.

Gibson Basses / Re: Music videos that feature EB0 to EB4 and SG variant basses...
« on: November 11, 2013, 09:52:54 AM »
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 find its actually with lower volume playing that bass tone really shines through and has a chance to make a difference. I think it's due to a number of factors but mainly 1) amps driven less hard (sure, sometimes that's part of the sound, but if it isn't, then a veil is lifted) 2) less compression is required on everything. This not only makes for greater dynamic range in all instruments (a boon especially for finger players) but also less mic bleed, especially with vocal mics (which in turn translates into clarity due to less phase issues). Even more so if lower volume allows you to keep monitor use to a minimum (nothing but vox and kick; keys if not amped etc).
And right-on CAR-54, besides messing with guitards (a necessary lifelong task) I find low volume playing is exactly the time to bust with the mud. Love using my EB3 on folky/acoustic things.

« on: November 07, 2013, 10:07:01 AM »
He's selling a piccolo flute not an oboe though. Hilarious just the same.
...incidentally, one of my Dad's favorite jokes revolves around the fact that, in Polish, an alternate word for 'oboe' is 'fagot'[sic].

Just to be clear - is that 4 single coils or 2 buckers with an oddly large space between the coils?
