Saw Lou Reed at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday night and was sat about 15 feet away from Rob Wasserman on EUB. What a fabulous player he is. EUB is not really my thing and I'd never heard of him before, but he made the bass guitar player (Fernando Saunders, and he's no slouch) completely redundant at the low end.

He has been around a long time, and he was certainly an early champion of the EUB. He had a slew of records way back featuring solo bass, duos with various famous voices, trios with famous folk as well. He was the Clevinger poster boy, and he gave Willie Dixon a pink Clevinger. His recordings are OK, nothing to scream about, but I'm sure he is a fantastic live player.

interesting- he played on Lou Reed's Magic & Loss album and toured with him as the sole bassist-

strange that LR would have 2 bassists.

Magic & loss has some pretty good playing on it- eg. "Power and the glory", "cremation".
