    Took my kids to see the most recent Harry Potter movie and spotted a modified Arco Resonet EUB played by the band in the yule ball scene!

    Any other EUB sightings in the movies? I can recall Danko´s Baby Bass in The Last Waltz, and another Baby Bass in Home Alone (John Candy´s polka band offers little Kevin´s mom a lift).

    Laurie Anderson playing a Clevenger and waving a flourescent/neon bow, in one of her films......can't remember the title, from the 80's I believe....

    Star Trek Nemesis had a neon green one in the background during the wedding. I think. It's been a while. Ever notice how badly the 'musicians' fake it on that show? it's not like it'd cost more to hire someone who actually knew how to hold a bass. I'm not a total nerd, I swear.

    I was watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies last night on TV and saw what I thought to be an NS EUB being played while Peter Gabriel sang John Lennon's "Imagine". There were no close ups, but it looked like and NS to me.
