Epiphone EB-0

I'm not alone? Woooo!

It comes from the realisation that since I have stopped playing outside of the bedroom, tone, or rather the search for it, has become more important than the notes. So I am going back to basics. I want a simple, tonally limited instrument that will force me to think about what I am playing first, and what it sounds like second.

Fender players-retaliate!!

Both the EBO and the EB3 are piles of complete and utter kak! I know, I have owned both for a short time. EBO given away, EB3 sold to an old guy who wanted to be Jack Bruce. Oh, how I laughed!


Have you learned your lesson Grasshopper?

Yes, they are plies of Kak Master!!

And here endeth the lesson!

I just fancy a change from my usual Fender (copies).

Never actually played one but the missus spent £110 on a pair of very tasty Fly boots so I retaliated by ordering a bass! I used to play an Epiphone Rivoli years ago and that was lovely.

I am pretty sure with a tweak here and there it will do what I want it to.

Cheers!

Just ordered one. I actually tried them first last week but I was sure they were out of stock. Of course fingers crossed for a sensible delivery time. I find it quite annoying that a lot of these online shops don't advise you of a delivery date before you buy. If it's more than a week I will probably cancel again!

:) Cancel, and get the real thing, there are two Gibsons for sale at the moment in the Basses for sale section.

The epi has a bolt on neck, I think, and you will really love the bridge pickup on the EB3.

I quite like Epiphone basses and had a few earlier on in the last decade. I had the EB3 over the EB0 as I'm just shy of 6'3" so thought I'd look odd with a short scale bass. I like the look of these though. I did find the pickups ranged from really good (Jack Casady, thunderbird etc) to quite poor (Flying V) on the ones I had. Still I like the back to basics vibe of the EB0
