Here it is Bass Player Dec. 2005
Jack was asked about his gear and Warwicks in particular and statedAlso I had suggested to Warwick that they make a special bass-a nod toward my old EB3- to celebrate this special event. We have'nt gotten it quite right yet,but the prototype was onstage and can be seen on the DVD.

Anyone know what Jack used (bass and effects) on the title track to Apostrophe?

Muddy the way it should be, , , with a little grit. :-)

Considering the time frame it was probably his EB3. He went to fretless in 1976. I don't know of any effects but he did have a diode installed in the Gibson to get the same distorted tone that he got with the Marshall 100s cranked up to 11.

I touched (but didn't actually have a chance to play) Jack's Warwick EB3 clone (yes, the same bass that was at RAH) at the Indy NAMM show in 2005. The neck struck me as fat, if memory serves. Other than that, it looked pretty cool. YMMV...

Anybody remember the Gibson SG-Z? It was produced from '99 to 2001. It has a 34 scale neck with TB pickups. It's my only Gibson Bass. I actually like it's sound - NOTHING like the EB3. It's a shame that whenever Gibson make a decent Bass, they discontinue it after only a few years of production.

Unfotunately, Gibson doesn't care as much about Bassists as they do guitarists - as their lineup reflects.
