[dagrev]

Oh, there’s plenty more to see alright.
In the meantime…..

Sir, you now have my undivided attention!

 

[dagrev]

At least the bacon is soft, they way it should be, none of this cracking into random fragments when you try to eat it!

Yes. That's called burnt....and nasty! But never a habit.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Leon for me. An inspiration in several ways.

same here, NRs if possible…..

 

[JJR58]

Sir, you now have my undivided attention!

Stay tuned, I’m full of surprises.

See, I have a few minutes this morning and this wants me to buy it........

Gibson EB-3 with Slotted Headstock 1969 - 1972 - Walnut | Reverb

Nah. You don't want that one-it "needs a bridge cover".
(holes are already there)

 

[dagrev]

Yes. I always thought they were so unique and cool. I still think they look a fuzz better than the reverse.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Nah. You don't want that one-it "needs a bridge cover".
(holes are already there)

in the case, look at the pics….

This summer maybe?

Really cool! Bolder even makes a little clam @about 3:00. The EB-3 seems to sound fantastic through a Marshall set up, wonder what he was using.

Yeah the clam could be why the footage got shelved, but I’ll take live with mistakes over lip synching any day!

 

[Engle]

This summer maybe?

I sure hope so!

 

[GonePlaid]

They're so cool! Not really the right bass for my band.....
But, I'd love to have one all the same.
I'll always love this vid of Free, what an amazing band, the sound, the space between the notes! Andy Fraser is like all of 17-18 years playing this, yeah, an EB-3 and some Marshalls! It was music like this that really made me want to play the bass (even if I don't play like this).


Bass player writes the song and it at least 50 seconds before he even plays a note, dig that big, woofy tone!

1970-72, I was in a group playing keys, sax, and flute. I only played bass(66 EB-3 not slot-head*)on one song: "All Right Now". Pretty much nailed it.
I didn't/don't like Fraser's tone on the record. Much better on this live version. IMNSHO.

*didn't have the 67NR yet

Beautiful! I didn’t know they had bound necks. Even comes with the bridge cover!
The bridge looks like it might be all the way down. Maybe ask for some side shots?

 

[GonePlaid]

in the case, look at the pics….

Ah! Didn't look at all of 'em. My bad.

 

[GonePlaid]

Ruined the whole performance. Got a really good sound outta that rig. Even the 'clam' was really clear.

Side note: Like a lotta singers(including me), Bowie had his lips right on the mic. I wonder how often studio mics get cleaned...
I use my own.

Ahhhh! Much better.

Complete with a tilt-o-matic two point bridge. Those are a pain until they are set up. Then you forget all about them and just play. The main thing with mudbuckers is that you never change the strings anyway. Dead rounds are the way to go.

 

[JJR58]

Ahhhh! Much better.

What’s wrong with bananas wrapped in spam covered with nasty sauce?

 

[TBird1958]

Stay tuned, I’m full of surprises.

Let's go with Bacon and Bourbon

 

[Gaolee]

Cover is in the case according to the pictures. Along with another set of strings and some kind of TSA lock.

Chucky beat me to it. Gotta be quick around here.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Got me thinking about bacon baklava

sounds like Jeff would rather see you post that stuff on the Ricky thread…
