Epiphone EB0 with flats and retrovibe 30k mudbucker

I only know it's not a proper English longbow !

Well it came in a box over 6 foot long, it's very black and very tall.
I'm not sure what I expected, but it is better.
Scroll head is superb.
I will begin learning to play it tomorrow.

I guess that is a no then . It arrives next Tuesday.

I've waited for this model to be available, I've got a thing about the scroll headstock,
it now is, and I've ordered it.
right or wrong ? Anyone got one ?

Dry fingerboards are not only found on HB basses!
recently bought a Gibson SG bass, lovely apart from the inside of the case being full of fretboard dust, fretboard almost pink from dryness.

Davids LPJ with the standard pickups and flat wounds sound really good. He tried mine and was impressed.
Stewblack, just message me if you want to try one. . . . It's not black though.

30.5 inches

I've fitted the excellent Retrovibe 30k pickup in my EB0 so it wouldn't be a straight comparison I'm afraid, but if it makes any sense the SG feels nicer than the nice feeling EB0

It's definitely got a thinner body and is lighter than my Epi EB0

Black Friday deal saw me parting with my credit card for a new one.
BUT omfg.
Lovely brown hard case, holding a bass that was so covered in dust, a fingerboard that was so dry it was pink. Pink dust everywhere that looked like the paint had not adhered to the corners or crevices and a loose jack socket.
spoke to the dealer, who said it had come direct from Gibson, and the security label was intact when it arrived so I believe them .
secured a further discount on the price, dusted it off, oiled the fingerboard, tightened up the socket, and its wonderful to play .
Im surprised ( despite hearing lots of nasty comments about Gibson) that they allowed this sort of lack of final inspection lack of quality.

Welcome welcome.
As to Church music, I'm in the process of getting the fellow Friday night players to learn 'Standing in the power of Love' an old Carl Perkins adaptation of a church tune.

Welcome ,
your mention of 'the streak' reminds me I heard it on Radio Caroline Flashback only this weekend !
I remember 40, but it was a quarter of a century ago.

I've not used anything yet, but think teak oil would be an appropriate choice compared to other options. Tung oil would be too much of a faff.
Lemon oil seems to work nicely.

Well well, after trying to play a HB, which I found difficult, I found this beaut on a FB group.
sounds superb compared to the HB, and a bit easier to hold straight, and it looks the dogs danglies .
tried it out with the band last Thursday to positive comments. ( clue to our music is in the name “The Elderly Brothers”)
it came with a Beringer acoustic pedal, which I’ve yet to try.
any other owners here ?
feeling happy
