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

Brits. Left lane driving, weird intonation ...

[Ken]

I hear they also all play left-handed.

Double neck feast with Family

Looks like a modified EBS-1250 that John Wetton is using, right?
Large white pickguard and P-90 on the guitar side

The doubleneck tradition is "inherited" from his predecessor in the band, Ric Grech. You see another Gibson bass/guitar doubleneck here (with a very young - barely recognizable, but the voice gives him away - Chappo at a late '67 Family gig) at 3:30 (bass headstock) and 4:48 (full frontal view). But it's a different instrument, Wetton had the bass on top, Grech however the guitar.



Do not listen to this if, uhum, "more adventurous" horn harmonies are not your thing! I warned you. Captain Beefheart fans will rejoice, however. 

Of interest to our Dutch and Canadian contributors, Herr Grech also played other Gibson basses.



Wetton otoh played an EB-3 when he helped out Renaissance on a tour in 1971 (prior to Jon Camp becoming their steady bassist in 1972):

Looks like a EB0L

[Dave W]

Looks like a post-71. Whoever said a mudbucker gets lost in the mix?

From 2002, when Stevie was twice the woman she was in the 70s but only half the woman she is now.

Once they started using maple necks and fidgeted with the mudbucker, non-audibility wasn't so much an issue anymore. But the change came too late, they already had their mud image.

Thornton Sisters 1959 with an EB played upright.
Skip to 1.01 to avoid the somewhat lengthy intro of the show.

Well that was fun!

[Dave W]

That was different!

Ted Mack's show was very popular for a long time.

[uwe]

That even had a bit of a Bebop influence!

[Granny Gremlin]

A bit?

[ilan]

Excellent. That girl drummer could play! The mom no doubt played upright before.

[uwe]

A bit?

You caught me! I was weighing my words REAL carefully so some guy with maybe 1.200 Bebop records in his collection would not jump on me, telling me a myriad reasons why it's not Bebop. I'm no Jazz history buff, but I found it still relatively accessible for what little Bebop I remember. You know, most of my Bebop knowledge comes from these guys here ...





... and what our Jazz buff music teacher explained to us about Dixieland, Bebop and Cool Jazz way back in 10th grade. But - look and behold - some of it stuck or I wouldn't have been able to place The Thornton Sisters.
