A Vintage EB3 with the Golden Earring

[Blazer]

And according to their website, that's also the bass he used on the actual recording of that song.

We discussed this actual vid earlier some days after that performance, but I think that was on the old Dudepit. And always nice to see this again! Thanks!

Great performance which I've never seen before. I remember the discussion about what bass was used on the recording of the seventies (I seem to remember we settled on an EB-3L back then, here he plays a short scale late sixties/early seventies EB-3 though) and I never saw this TV show extract. Great to see a live and improvised version like that in a TV studio going full 8 minutes plus horns (I always find Radar Love versions without horns suffering). Danke, Blazer!

Both the song and the band have aged nicely. Full bodied Merlots.

I thought he said was an EB-3 on the recording. It may have been in a magazine interview.

i seem to remember an old black and white video/photo of radar love that had the bassplayer using a dano longhorn. on you tube they show a ric being played.

For years I just assumed he was playing a Dano on the recording. Then somebody came up with a quote from him that he had used a Gibson.

Rinus used a Rickenbacker, a Dano, an EB3 (never heard of him using an EB3L) and a homemade shortscale pointy bass, which he made longscale later on. He also used a Dano-like double neck with Dano and Fender necks. He just ordered some special made Dano copies at a company in Holland.

Actually he has used those Dano copies for over a year now, when I saw the Earring Last year at Pinkpop Classic edition he used two Dano-like basses: A sunburst hollow body F-hole number and a Long scale copperburst three pickup one.
