Can you help me work out what Jerry Preston is playing here? I first thought it might be a BC Rich or an Alembic, but I really have no clue. Aside from that, check out the unbelievable groove of these guys... my God. Ta in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokl Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Having a snoop around google, does anyone think it could be a BC Rich Eagle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 100% BC Rich Wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Funky, wound round style! Lovely brass pieces in the latter half. Precision pickups but sounds active. Very nice guitar playing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crez5150 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 If you want to hear a funkier version, have a listen to the version on 'Roots and Grooves'.......... one of my fave live tracks of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorne Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 EBS_freak is completely correct, it is a Vintage B.C.Rich Wave bass, which was designed by Martyn Evans, not as Bernie Rico Snr would have you believe, himself Martyn Evans [url="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/190968/?action=view¤t=29_martyn_evans.jpg"][/url] And as he was when he worked at BCR [url="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/190968/?action=view¤t=Martyn.jpg"][/url] @ 4 strings, the DiMarzio pick ups are Passive, but the bass has a pre-amp booster, and a 6 position varitone, but I cannot see in the video, if the pre-amp switch is on, if it is off, then the bass is Passive @Mokl, they are very rare basses, there is one on German Ebay, but it has a horrid paint job on it, spiderweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
