Ya gotta love the classics.

Last night, I practiced with the new band I'm putting together. I took my '64 Gibson EB-0, and was really enjoying its sound. At one point I started the bass line for "Sunshine of Your Love" and everybody jumped on it...and it sounded fantastic. I LOVE playing that bass line...and that mudbucker is the ideal sound.

Next thing I knew, we added it to our planned set. Yahoo!!!!

Now all I need is the hat...

IMHO that clip is probably the very best thing on youtube

I used the EBs a lot in my previous band. They had more of a classic hard rock/blues thing going, and the fuzzy EB sat nicely between the dueling guitar rigs. Had fun pounding out some Cream covers with them, and another one that I always enjoyed was...

Love the Fool, what a history for a single guitar, now resting in Todd's case.

I saw West, Bruce and Laing on their very first tour, long before their album ever came out. I was about 20 ft. from the stage. Jack was playing with one finger, and doing figure 8's all night. I wanted to go home and throw rocks at my bass.

That Cream video was shot with a single camera as a single shot. We've come a long way since then...

I caught that show in Detroit. Outside of seeing Blue Cheer, that was probably the loudest show I've ever experienced.

excuse me but what are' figure 8's' in bass playing?

PhilT · January 14, 2012, 05:42:36 PM

One night I went through all the Cream versions of Sunshine I could find on Youtube and that one with Eric on the SG sounds way the best to me.

Pilgrim · January 14, 2012, 06:02:57 PM

My band practiced that today - I was playing a fretless P/J with 8-year-old nylon tapewound strings and the tone at full bass...sounded great!
