That's true.  Something like that would be very rare now.  I just posted it because it shows Jack in a non-Cream context, but when he was still playing the EB-3.  Cream is probably my favorite band, but anyone who does an EB-3/SG type video now usually starts it off with the obligatory "Sunshine of Your Love" riff.

Understandable - I'm not thinking "Sunshine of Your Love" - more like Crossroads, Whiteroom, and maybe Badge...

"Crossroads" and "Badge" may be my favorite Cream songs.  I was once in a band that had good results with "Badge."  As for "Crossroads," it would be hard enough for me just to play it the way it should be, must less sing and play it, too.  Of course even Jack didn't have to sing it with Cream, either.  Also, as an aside, even though I like Jack Bruce as a vocalist more than Eric Clapton, I thought Clapton did an incredible job on singing "Badge." 

Here is a clip from the 1968 farewell concert which I recently saw on big screen for the first time.  The camera work on this is bad, but this is all we have.

Nice clip - thanks for posting that... I can play Crossroads, no prob - but probably can't play and sing it... Fortunately, that would be one the drummer would sing, if we did it...

You're welcome.  That version found on Wheels of Fire, of course, is the best, but this one isn't bad, either. 

I hope you'll be able to put the SG Standard to good use in the band.  It sounds like you will.

To be honest, I think my T-bird sounds better with the original 3 point than it did with the Supertone...


I've always thought the Supertone was grossly overrated.
The pretentious name doesn't help either  ;)

 I just couldn't put one on any Gibson, they're so F%^&*$# ugly (sorry guys) that they just destroy the aesthetics of the bass they're attached to. Just my .02 tho.

Now that I've had one, I cannot disagree with that - although I will say that it's well made, like all other Hipshot products I've owned...

Yeah, it really didn't improve the looks of my T-bird, IMO...
