Surprise NBD…

So I’m up in Coventry visiting my folks, for the first time in 20 months. I see bass direct post on FB for an Epiphone EB-3. Someone asks for scale length “30” “ is the reply. 
Now I’ve always wanted an EB-3 and I was sure the Epiphone ones are 34”. This morning I happened to be going to Leamington, a short hop from BD.  So I thought I’d pop in to see. Was handed the bass, it certainly felt like 34”. I ask and the guy said “it’s 30”, but lets check”

“Oh, it’s 34”!?. Never knew these came in 34” “

Bugger…

So, here it is!

Given how much I rate my recently acquired Epiphone SG guitar I I can only assume this has to be of the same quality, in which case you’ll have scored a cracker there.

 

It feels very solidly put together, all the controls are nice, smooth and quiet. As I'm away from home I only have my Zoom B3 to play with and I think the EB's output is just a little too hot for the Zoom. 
But it sounds and feels great. Looking forward to hammering it through my CTM-300 on the weekend!!

That story doesn’t fill me with confidence as I was asking about the scale length of a bass at BD over the phone yesterday!

 

Congrats on the bass though!

Yeah, I do find that the number of inaccuracies on their website/social media posts is fairly worrying.
