hey i have just seen this one on gumtree this is the shortscake EB3 Epiphone Bass | in Darvel, East Ayrshire | Gumtree

they did a short scale Epiphone EB3,i have one and i used to use it at band practise because it fit in the boot of my car easy. i fitted the Artec mudbucker and it has the thump if needed.

Still has serial/model number on it.

Congratulations 👏 nice bass. Saw that one for sale, was tempted to buy that to go with my Avon Grabber,I bought recently.

I was a big Metallica fan from my back in my schooldays(im 50 now),and loved all the Cliff era and i remember buying the $5.98 EP when Jason joined and the bass sounded great,i bought and justice... on vinyl and it sounded terrible on my system back then. I kind of went off them to a degree after that i just couldnt listen to it,i loved master of the puppets but as a follow up and with a bass player you knew could do the business that mix was shocking.

I bought this recently good basses.

i have a squier silver series precision,very nice bass. I changed pickup on mine and i must say i really like it and cant see me selling it anytime. pricewise i paid £100 for mine a few years back ,i have seen them going for around £275-£350 whether they actually sell for that im not sure. i owned a JV and an eighties E serial fender japan P and to me the silver series are very alike as they would be made in the same factory.

Are they Nickel?

I had one years ago,was not a bad bass had that Gibson sound & quirkiness about it. I paid £200 for it back in the 90s

I had one years ago,I think it was ply but it sounded quite nice.

I was quite lucky £200 it needed a clean up and the pots cleaning. I remember seeing these in magazines over the years and have always wanted one,also on the advert for the one on the links above it say Dimarzio pickups,but from what I have read they are schaller pickups,I think mine has schaller JBX pickups. Sounds great though and has a lovely neck.

I bought a Wilkes recently,I really like it.

I have a Rootmaster MAG220,sounds great but I'm not sure if it's loud enough to gig,as I haven't had a chance to try it at volume.

I have an AH300SMX that I have owned from new I really need to get it fixed.

My 79 Roadster RS900 and my 1980 Blazer bass.

I had a 1510 I used for years,I loved that cab,great sound.

Andertons has a fretless in stock looks nice! https://www.andertons.co.uk/second-hand/second-hand-guild-fretless-bass-b301a-f
