Love Kai's playing, he's got the proper bass face too!
The switch on the EB-0 is probably toggling series/parallel wiring on the pickup, the Dimarzio website mentions you can do that on this model.
I love the 1967 EBO because a bass player went out and bought one in 67 and I bought his 63 Jazz Bass. Thank you!
Man if I had one of those old Eb-0s I could never change out the mudbucker! I'm too in love with the old Jack Bruce sound!
That sidewinder has 3X the output of the DMZ. But I WOULD put the DMZ in an Epi EBO.
Kai’s playing is fantastic. Love that walnut finish!
YES HAVE KAI MORE!!!!!! that was some wonderful groove playing
Jah wobble would love the sound of the Gibson EB-2.
I enjoyed Kai’s playing on this video! Please invite him back soon.
Also, loved your Gibson basses! I own a 1967 Red EB2D with the 1 pickup in the neck position. Mine is missing the pick guard and the mute was removed sometime in the past but was included when I bought the bass from a co-worker. It came with a great hard shell case too. Very sturdy. Keep up the great work, Gregor!
Your guest bassist rocked. He has some funk in him.👌🏾
More Kai please! And: Thies Deep Bass Sounds are full in Fashion in a lot of (Indie)Pop and Elektro Music or jung modern Jazz/Elektrofusion Bands like BADBADNOTGOOD.
Kai put that funk on a roll. Great bassist and basses.
Kai has great note choice. Definitely rehire him!
Love both basses. And Kai.
great playing and beautiful instruments!
A walnut EB2 is a beautiful thing. I prefer 34 inch scale, though. Yes I enjoy your videos, but Gregor, I must tell you this. You bring joy. Thank you.
Great basses, the EB2 is the standout for me. Also loved Kai's choices of music to showcase them and his playing is great.
Thank you Gregor, So many people turn their nose up at Gibson basses. I love them and they each have their place. Beautiful EB2 by the way. I have three Gibsons. I have a 68 Melodymaker, which was basically an EB0 that I had customized with an EB3 neck pickup with dual volume and tones. It is a beast. I sat in for a couple of songs at a club with it and the bass player came running up to turn down his amp, I don't think I heave ever played with volume over 6 it is so powerful. I also have a 73 Ripper. This was an original run of the first 26. I put a Babicz bridge on it and it is amazing. Finally I bit for a 2019 Midtown. Another amazing bass in it's own right. Thanks for the videos.
The tone in Kai's last performance is amazing. The resonance!
Yes I'd like to hear Kai's playing some more.
A number of times I was tempted to get a Short scale Gibson but didn't.
It would be just an indulgence not a need.
Still, maybe one day ...
Same goes for a Thunderbird 🙄
Bass face approved Kai
I think these fat bass sounds are far from being out of fashion. Sure, modern metal requires crazy overdriven hifi sounds ala Dingwall and Darkglass, but the neo soul thing is also very popular right now. McBaise just released an album where these basses would not be out of place at all.
All of mcbess' bands are very good. Kamggarn is a personal favorite of mine
For me there is nothing heavier than big ol HBers for metal and heavy rock. Doom requires massive low end and dist. EB basses are great for that. Esp in a three pc scenario. But not so much w twin guitars.
That first bass riff was funky!! 🙏🏿
Amazing basses! I have them both! An 1969 eb3 and an 1964 epiphone rivoli. Wouldn't change them for anything! They rock and they have a character that i like!! They play great with overdrives or nice tube amps! They growl!!!
69 EB3 NICE!!!
Yes, hire him again, knows how to get the tone out of a bass. Love those basses btw !
Always hire him.
Kai’s a good bassist! That first jam was mean
Anything from '69 has to be special, but that EB0 sounds like it has an octave pedal hardwired into it, so deep!
And Kai, oh man, great bass player and he has a Joy Division T-shirt. Awesome!
Thanks man. You’re right, I’m a 69 build myself🤌🏽
Yeah it kinda sounds almost synthbass like. I’m sure with an OC 5 to emphasize that it would come out even more.
@@klemke7043 yep, the EB0 with an OC5 would be monstruous, the Godzilla of bass.
Thumbs up for Kai!
Really great episode!
Solid palying from Kai! Maybe you can put out this short licks somewhere)
Every time i hear this type of pickups thinking to put on my precision.
ruclips.net/channel/UCPcb1v384CFvhsjWR-gXfAA
you're welcome ;)
6 minutes 8 seconds in.....'Muddy flobbyness' - perfect !!
More Kai!
Kai is great, give him a gig!
I'm shocked by how "synthy" that EB-2 walnut bass sounds. There may be some potential in there for use in more modern styles yet!
It must put out pretty pure sine waves, so it could maybe drive synth equipment?
Nice groovacious playing, Kool basses as well👌
Between 67 and 69 I had two EB-0’s an Epiphone EB-0 Wilshire type and an EB-2DC double pickup with the single double coil push button switch. The older Gibson EB-0’s had a Little wider neck at the nut and played a bit easier down there than the 67 and later basses. Seeing your video really took me back to when I started playing bass in my senior year of high school. Thanks man for the memories!
I work at a music store and we got a 70's Gibson Ripper. Vintage Gibson's are the best
I love my Gibson SG bass. I wish Gibson would release reissues of the original EB0 and EB3
My first bass was a 66 EB-0 that I got at 13, in 1976. A couple of years later I wanted a P bass. Could not afford one so I put a D'marzio P 10:49 PU in the bridge position, and a 3-way switch. So I had bridge PU, both PU,s and just bridge PU. The bridge P PU gave it a little treble added so together it sounded not so muddy.Did not think about original Vintage, back then you did what you had to do to get the tone u wanted. Alot of basses later I still have the EB-0 and when I'm just playing myself I use the EB-O, Sounds great for Classic Rock, Beatles,Stones, Cream and other classic Rock. Like you said it's only for certain songs, I love a mudbucker.
Ky sounds great!
Hire him again. He plays effortlessly.
At 2:15, my iPhone speaker actually said ‘nah, mate’
Bass in the face!
You need a Grabber. If you like that sound and quirky Gibsons overall, the Grabber is for you. They play beautifully too. I have one and it's my main bass, it's just so different from everything but has massive sound. I call mine "The RumblePlank" lol. Go find one, I'm sure you'll love it
on it ;)
Imagine if the Grabber design allowed the sliding pickup to move even further towards the neck :)
Now you need a Ripper and or Grabber to round out your Gibson basses.
Where do I find that shirt (besides on you) I would love to get one.
Thank you for sharing. Cheers
I've a lawsuit Ibanez EB-3 from the early 70s that sounds a lot like the EB-2 with the switch on. Really lovely bass I think it shines on jazz - solo on the bridge pickup rythm on the neck
If it still has the original maxon pickups, they can be used to date the bass...I have a '74 eb-3 slot-head clone, and tone-wise it's a nice middle ground between my '70 melody maker and '13 sg bass
Geiles Video! Danke schön.
I have an eb3 bass and it's great.
Kai is the guy. 'Nuff said 👊
Cheers mate 👊🏼
Both of those basses sound like they'd be a bit of a bear to fit into a mix, but for the right project - say, music for a street montage in a 70s detective movie - I can see them being excellent.
Also, more Kai!
Short scales fit so good in the mix. I dont get the biased against them. They indeed sound more bassy than 34" which sound more punchy. Just put a flats on short scales and you will have a focused bass sound perfect for Neo Soul, Electronic, Pop, etc.
More Kai. More Kai. More Kai. Please 😅
Man’s good! Put him on the payroll.
Gregor, great video. Thank you. Come to California !
Gibson are my favourite
Great Bass player!
I own both a '59 EB-2 in sunburst and an EB-3 from the 70es in walnut. Great basses but truly not very usable. I love them both, though. Especially the EB-2 is amazing. I love that semi-hollow sound.
amazing EB2, thank for recording it.
At 2:13 was it with tone control fully open?
not sure but probably not
Keep Kai!
I'd love to hear what these sound like through a Fuzz War. I could be pretty amazing.
So sorry I have not given my 2¢ yet about the fine bassist in this video. He is just all that. Thick pocket, slinky soul and vibes man, vibes. Yes, more that man.
Am I right on? With the thick slinky vibes?
I'm right. It's the TSV all day.
Great. I have a 69 EB0 with original pickup, bridge cover. Get some not TOO bassy sounds/wolf notes out of it by doing a few things (It’s that nice deep vintage hollow squashed tone):
Unhook the treble kill capacitor inside
Volume on the bass down to about 7
Bass eq on the amp way down
Using GHS brite flats
What strings are you using on these two basses?
I like Kai!
Those are absolutely gorgeous just like cable
Well I can tell you we used these on several recordings and I must say I looove this sound more than many other basses. These create that fat tone you are after in a rock song which does not sound thin and crappy.
Great basses Gregor
Great bass playing. Tons of useful information but as is so often the case- no mention of neck dive. 🤷♂️
I am Dieter. And this is Schprockets!!
hire him back...permanently...!!!!
He’s coming back for a session in February
I think they sound great. sound does not always need to be baalanced
I loved my 68 EB-3, but it was a neck heavy nightmare. I'm going to put the sidewinder pup in a Tele body, and either a humbucker or piezo, or both.
Dude rocks!
nice groove! yes hire the new guy again :)
Ausgeseichnet!
also I think that sound is very useful... for things very similar to tone the Banda Brothers get ... (Poncho Sanchez's rythm section)
Gregor! I'd love to see you do a review on the Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS.
very nice I did add your chanel !!!
Hi Gregor, thank you for the video! The Gibson basses are so cool!!!! Your guy Kai is a good player and I don't want to disrespect him but I think your playing is much better. You could have saved a few Euro and ran through these basses for us if you wanted to. You sound great and I want to encourage you to demo some basses as well as having guest players. Take care of yourself and thanks again for all the great videos!!!
No place in today’s music? Don’t tell that to Billy Sheehan…
I like the way the tone of his voice changed when he hit the switch! Now that’s a switch!😁
I have a Billy Sheehan Signature Bass. Sounds VERY different.
@Gregor: As far as i know, you got a few Gibson Basses. Would be fun to see someone play them in comparions with the Epiphone Copys! Love the Bass but like you said, i guess its quite unique.
I play live with a EB3 (varitone switch, slothead) in a Stones tribute band. As a back up I have a Burny with the Daddario PU but the sound is really different, thinner. Always tell the sound guy that should I swap bass, there will be a drop in the low register. Nothing beats the original mudbucker IMO.
The EB3 has much more versability than the EB0 or EB2 due to the bridge pup.
So is the new SG bass. Even more so.
Greg you really love that shirt… me too Haha
I recently acquired a 66 EB0 with the same pickup in it. I was wondering what bridge is on yours? Or if you would even reccomend it. The one I have on currently is some no name bridge that isn't very good.
Maybe it was because of the two basses showed in the video, but I would say this: he didn't slap. So, hire him full time. Please.
slapping certainly is the one thing those basses cant do, but who needs slapping anyway ;))) just kidding
that t-shirt freaks me out
Did they only make 12 EB-2dw’s in total or just in 1969? I have a EB-2dw which i believe to have been made in 67, and I’m trying to get more information on it.
12 of them overall in and all of them in the 1 pickup configuration
Those Gibson EB0 and later SG basses are my favourite-looking and least-favourite sounding instruments. Even when they added the bridge pickup to modern SGs, even if you drop a dimarzio model one in the neck, even if you add a babicz bridge, there's just no escaping that hollow, shallow, unsustained muffle of a tone. Pity, because I *love* the look and feel!
Try the Les Paul DC. Pickup is in the middle so the sound is very versatile yet stills vintage looking and sounding.
Please, let us hear the EB2 with some Fuzz 🙏🙏🤯
funk the basses . where i can buy thardis irrational-loop t-shirt?
Jah Wobble.
音が聞きたいです。。
Fuck treble!! 😉
I've got something to say '(Im Jealous!)
Me too. Gregors got an array of basses I’d love to steal. That Sandberg J is probably the best J ever, it completely lacks all the typical weak spots JBs typically have and plays like a mother, awesome. His Pbasses are a collection of beauties too.
@@klemke7043 yep his collection is awesome,and Gregors,got the chops as well..always a good day,when,,The bell rings,and his content is up!
@@klemke7043 LMAO,steal..!!!!!!
@@floydlay9189 can’t do it, to good a person unfortunately
Here's axact the same EB0 in action:

I can't stand Gibson. The playing is good though!
They are generate to fat sound for me..
Cobrah Kai 😜😎
Bass Karate :)))
👌.. Warum immer blabla.. Muss 🎶🎶🎶🎶
A no non sense Gibson bass.
This guy is incredible boring. Love the channel but he makes it harder to watch
Hire him again for more projects. 😊
He’s coming in February to record some new videos!
