    What are these massive differences?

    As Dom in Somerset pointed out, the first and biggest difference is gonna be your neck scale length, one is short, one is long. Depends which you like best.

    I have an SG at home and feel that it's short scale neck is really quick and easy to get around. By comparison my main gigging and recording bass is a 5 string jazz so they both feel totally different!

    Pickups again are a significant difference between the 2 basses you are looking at, so it really comes down to what you like.

    Can't get any better advice than to try as many as you can, see what YOU like. Taking time to try them out will pay off for you in the end.

  2. The SG's are surprisingly light, far lighter than Epiphone EB0's. But as said above, there are some massive differences between your two options, so just have a play of a few, see what feels right.

  3. Up again now just cos of Xmas funds needed :)

    Now has a black hipshot bridge that cost me about £90 which is miles better than the standard Gibson bridge, set up by Steve Robinson here in manchester, and it plays amazing.

    Only selling this cos it's my play at home bass rather than a gigging bass, so it's first to go up for sale when dough is needed.

    I won't be sad at all if it doesn't sell, but the wife says I should try :)

  4. I found my love for the Novation Bass Station through a great band I was into a few years back, called 'Peace Burial at Sea', (since split up, believe a few people are in a band called 'Ghosts of Old Berlin' now)

    The Bass Station was on my radar cos of Radiohead, but it was these guys who made me want one.
