Epiphone Eb 3

I would definitely buy another one given the chance. Ive had both EB-O and EB-3 and have little to complain about.When I received it a friend had given it to Me because it needed some work...the bridge posts were coming out, so I glued them back in, and I put on some shiner screws because the ones it had oxidized. Thats it.

The tone you can get out of this bass is pretty good. The Neck pickup (mudbucker/motherbucker) is really powerfull,hollow excellent for harder genres of music, synergy with fuzz effect is superb. The bridge pickup however, is really soft. I get the best tone out of the bass when i use both of them, the mini humbucker equalizes the mudbucker - excellent lows and highs aswell. The instrument is beautiful, but the build quality could be better. The first one i got from the store had huge paint slips, and a buzzing fretboard, returned and got a pretty solid one, but this has some minor paint glitches too. Unfortunatelly the chineese building is inconsistent. The 3 point bridge is horrible. The one and most important step to set up the bridge, so it wont get out of the bass ,is that the first screw should be a bit higher than the other two. When you are restringing the bass change string 1 by 1 so, the bridge wont fall out. The bass is light, the hardware is ok, the gloss paint is just gorgeous, if its done well. All in all with its flaws it is a good bass for the money, it is the most beautiful SG bass out there with a bargin price, but tonal options are limited
