I came across this clip the other day. Any idea what Milt's playing here?

Ampeg Baby Bass. Great band with Zoot Sims and Clarke Terry.

No Kidding. I guess I need to brush up on my EUB history. Thanks.

It is an interesting clip. It looks like Gene Bertoncini on guitar but I could be mistaken

Looks like this was moved over from the Double Bass threads. Is it a moderater thing, or doe's a user make a request, or how does that work?

BTW, it's a great clip!

I moved it when I saw it was about an EUB.

wow! i'm going to refer people to that who say that the eub can't sound like an upright. if you look at the sidebar there are other clips with him playing that bass including ornithology

Man, he plays that thing so high it's a wonder that he can play it at all. Sounds incredible, though. Milt was the man.

yeah, Milt held the bass high up there!
