    anyone ever modded an epiphone eb-0?

    I bought an Epi EB0 about a year ago. So far, I bought and installed a Hipshot bridge to replace the original one. I like this bass.

    Fret buzz

    And another update: I know that I said I was going to leave well enough alone, but I had some extra cash and I gave in to temptation. I bought the hipshot bridge, installed it, then I took it to a shop and had the bass setup. The tech adjusted the neck and set the intonation. The bass sounds...

    Fret buzz

    Update: I took the EB0 to a tech today who checked it out.

    How much do you mod your basses

    All my basses have at least gotten Shaller straplocks. Right now I only have one bass, sold some stuff to get rid of some debt, but it has Shaller straplocks. Its a Squier Jaguar VM short scale.

    Bought my first real short scale bass.

    Gibson Les Paul DC Junior, those are great looking basses. I haven't seen one in person yet, only online. They look great though.

    Bought my first real short scale bass.

    Hello, new member here. I have a Squier Jaguar short scale that I purchased recently from a pawn shop. Do any of you guys play heavy metal or hard rock with your short scale basses?
