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

My PJ Mustang has, over time,  become my favorite bass. Somehow, it always feels "right" in the mix.

[Alanko]

I recorded some stuff with my band last weekend, using my reissue Rivoli. Into a clean DI it is a brilliant recording bass. Solid low frequencies with no need to try and tease out bass frequencies with cunning EQ, compression etc.

My P Bass has a J Bass neck, so it is only half a P.

But you have to adopt our faith, Ilan, how else can your soul find redemption?

I also shunt the bass-cut caps on pre-85 Rics, you know, and still see myself as a strong believer in the 4001. The way I see it, my EB-0L is saved from evil and suffering under the tyranny of the Mud. I really should post a demo on youtube.

This one is especially unruly ...

[Pilgrim]

Unruly??  Who....Biggus Dickus??

Thom Yorke embracing the mud just after the 13th minute.

What did I just see

[Alanko]

Just sounds like Radiohead, but hipsters are going to compare it to Can and this will make me sad.

[uwe]

If I were Can, I'd feel insulted by your comment, Alan. Even Can were never that horrible.

Shared on FB today: Joe Maphis on an EB-1 (even a brief bass solo) with Larry Collins, whose doubleneck Mosrite was patterned after Joe's.




I'm old enough to remember the Collins Kids and Town Hall Party/Ranch Party very well.

Here's Larry Collins (age 78) last week with another one of his Mosrites.

Lively!

John Glascock with a decidedly unmuddy sounding - more bone than mud - EB-0.

Is that a T-bird pup at the bridge? Good view of the bass starting about 2:55 here.

Good eyes, Tom, you're right! I was already wondering how extremely you would have to tweak a rig to get that sound out of a mudbucker. 

No one ever supports me here in my love for Carmen - it's as futile as posting something from The Sparks, you guys don't "get" them either. I believe you all think they're just plain weird and nothing else! Criminal ignorance. Something about Hispanic guitarists with blue and red nail polish I guess.   If David Bowie, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Anderson like you as a band, you must be doing something right!

Or wrong.  Thanks for posting that clip, I had not seen that filmed rehearsal for the Midnight Special yet, priceless. It's actually better than the performance, because it's a little looser.

PS: Angela Allen (the female singer, dancer, synth player) and John Glascock were an item at the time - lucky guy. Who says that the bassist never gets the girl? (At least, if the lead guitarist is by coincidence her brother, he has a bullfighter's chance.)

I need to check out more Carmen. I feel like I've known the name, but nothing about them. Pretty cool vibe, and the bass player's GF is quite attractive!
