Re: Music videos that feature Gibson EB-2 and Epi Rivoli basses...

[Alanko]

Is that an EB-2 or a Rivoli, hard to catch it and the upper and lower horn look kind of weird?

That was an invigorating train wreck of a performance!

Gibson made at least one ES-355, presumably accidentally, that had a pointy horn and a rounder horn, presumably around the 1963 changeover period in the design. I suppose it is possible that they could have similarly messed up a Rivoli or EB-2 bass.

Another 90s reissue Rivoli - Does it still count if it has a Dimarzio instead of the Mudbucker? 

[Basvarken]

Some nice groovin' on an EB-2.

[66Atlas]

Well, it's not an EB2 or Rivoli but it's at least a Gibson hollowbody and not exactly the kind of music I would expect to see one in.



I watched it with the volume off to save my soul.

Pretty sure I saw this tour at the Riviera in Chicago. One of the loudest shows I've ever been to. And there's a good chance Barker is playing through the '72 SVT I sold him around '91.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

That's a Gibson EB 750.

[66Atlas]

Bingo! Rob got it.

I'm not a huge fan of the Barts that they put in them but you can still get some half-way decent tones from one.

If we started a thread for music videos featuring the EB 650 and 750 it would be very short unless Uwe gets busy with a videocam.

[Granny Gremlin]

Uwe gets busy with a videocam.

No DIY Colonoscopies plz (you never known with those Germans)

[66Atlas]

shame the video quality of this isn't better...

[uwe]

A smattering of EB-750 vids! 

[D.M.N.]

A bit of a detour, but I spotted a Les Paul Signature bass in this video:



In my personal hell, this tune is playing on an endless loop. That way madness surely lies.

Also a wild Rivoli sighting.



Both bands are a bit of a lame '50s throwback really. I saw both clips on a BBC compilation show earlier today.

Ooof. And I personally like the original. But that was so milquetoast.

Barely visible Rivoli but the tone is just right.
