Ah, the things you can do on stage when you have a stand-mounted EUB that you don't have to worry about balancing.

Here's a compilation from a recent gig of mine where I had really simple parts so I had plenty of opportunity to ham it up and do stuff that would be physically impossible with a DB or BG. I think I've succeeded in avoiding any and all grace, elegance or semblance of seriousness. I can do those things when I'm playing in church or something, but with this band it would just make them look pretentious.



I also did a few other things that aren't on the vid like walking away from the bass for a few yards when I had a few measures of rest. And yes, that is my bow behind the singer around the two-minute mark.
