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

EB-2 basses are the coolest but we already knew that.

Chris Dreja with an EB2 and a lead guitarist I've never seen or heard of, didn't amount to much I think.

If you copy the link from a playlist, the video won't show up, only a link. Copy the URL from the share button, and it will.

Nice EB-2D in the vid, so that you don't have to look at Joe Osborn's Fender Jazz, only hear it

Sounds like the intro was doubled on an electric piano as well (Hohner Pianet, maybe)? I wonder how many bassists tried to get the sound of a picked Jazz Bass from a shortscale Gibson off the back of this video!

Give me an EB2 and I'll get you that Fender-y sound. I'll just stick a Bill Lawrence/Epi pickup under the mud cover.

I was wondering, danke!

Give me an EB2 and I'll get you that Fender-y sound. I'll just stick a single coil under the mud cover.

Do you still have that Bill Lawrence/Epi pickup under there?

[ilan]

Oh yes. BTW It's a stacked humbucker, not a single coil. I've edited my post.

Korean made, but the package says "Designed and made in the USA"...

[Dave W]

Thanks, Ilan. I should have guessed that it would be a humbucker, Bill didn't design many single coils.

What kind of foam is that?

[uwe]

Actually, it sounds that way more like an SB 400 than a Fender. Which it essentially is.

iirc it was insulating foam used in air conditioning piping. It's dense and keeps the pickup in place with no rattle.

That must be at least in part due to its placement at the neck.

Jack Bruce navigates some tricky jazz rock fusion. Killer bass tone!

Legend has it that that scene from Spinal Tap was inspired by the Ian Gillan Band's failed mid-seventies attempt to teach jazz fusion to the denim brigade.



I loved what they did back then, but I was a negligible minority. Mostly, it went straight over people's heads. People who liked fusion didn't want to be caught with a record featuring Ian Gillan and Purple fans didn't know what to make of it.
