Basses you would like to see reissued

I'd like to see a Gibson EB-3 reissue done properly. none of this Vol/Vol/Tone controls they have now, but the proper one tone and volume per pickup and the rotary with the tone chokes on there. oh and short-scale of course. otherwise Epi would be doing it right. such a shame the Epi EB-3 is 34" scale....

I;d also like to see a whole slew Lado basses that are no longer made. like the Zebra, I almost bought one a few years back still regret not doing it...

Hard to find and when you find them they are really expensive. I´m going to buy one soon, if my bank let´s me...

Spot on. Gibson finally re-issue this great bass, but they mess about with the controls. No, no, no.

And I'd also like to see Fender do a proper re-issue of the 60's / 70's Tele bass with the massive humbucker. Played the Squier version recently. Absolutely awful...
