Epiphone Club

[MetalSearGolid]

I've got an Ephiphone Les Paul Special I've had for about... 3 years I think? Wow now that I really think about it, I can't remember when I bought a lot of my older equipment, I'm still trying to get my own timeline in order lol. I'll post pics when I get home from work. It's nothing special, but it's served me well.

Had to get this Epi LP standard because I loved the top and it wasn't cherry burst for once. The headstock has the flowering vase inlay. Made in Korea Unsung plant of 2001.

That is beautiful.

 

[MetalSearGolid]

Teared up a little bit

 

[Silver Blues]

Purty. Want a number?

 

[SturmUndDrang]

Sure, why not.
I was thinking the bass would be a good one for biker bars and open mikes, but with a new early nineties Gibson case (bass fit like a glove thank god), pickups by Curtis Novak and new frets, I'm over a grand into it. But I couldn't bear to neglect such a nice looking bass.

 

[Silver Blues]

All right, you're #139.

Here are a couple 90's Epiphone Expert basses six string, neck-through basses with onboard preamps. I had enjoyed one of the second generation EBM-5 fretless basses which I later sold, but since I'd enjoyed moving to a fiver after playing fours for over thirty five years, I thought I might move to sixes at some point. They are 34" scale; I drilled the E and B string bridge point to make those two strings mounted through the body. Made in Korea, very nicely crafted.

They have very narrow 5/8" string spacing, just 2.05 inches at the nut, so since I have small hands I thought it wise to grab them. Wish they weren't so hefty, over 10 lbs. The one on the right is defretted, very sweet.

 

[Silver Blues]

Awesome. You're #140.

I think that is the first time I've ever seen the Expert basses. I've seen the EBM's before but never a six string.

It's great for open mikes!

Ha! Thanks Kevin. Too bad the drummers blew up at each other. The Peavy Max really cut the mustard in the room.

1998 EB-1. Bought it today and am extremely happy so far. Number please?

I have no clue what caused that ruckus! The little Peavey surprises me constantly. The Les Paul sounded great.

Nice one! Yessir, #141 is yours.

I just picked this up last night on a trade - haven't even cleaned it yet.

Appears all stock so I'll be researching the 'fixes' for the various issues of the EB3. It does sound good though so likely I won't have to do any electronic mods.

 

[Silver Blues]

Nice. Number?

 

[Faith Nicole]

Nice. Number?

sure, I'll take a number, as long as owning is enough - not playing. I plan on keeping it at least until I can play it. After that it all depends on wandering eyes and money

For coming from a family of musicians, at 53 I'm getting a late start at this. I call myself a white sheep in a black sheep family

 

[Silver Blues]

Hah All right, you're #142.

 

[Debazer]

Does mine technically count?
