I just threw a set of daddarios on my bass and this particular set sounds soooooo very great on my EB3... Totally stock except for the bridge extender bar...im set up for b, f#, b, e....and the tension is perfect, the angry piano sound is there even on my low b... only string I've managed to get that from on my eb3... I ditched the 43.

I have an Epiphone Pelham Blue EB3.
Also I'm looking at hot rodding this bass, I'd like a better bridge maybe some different tuners and possibly some pickups. I would welcome any and all suggestions about any modifications.

Hey Moedaily! You're #125, in The Epiphone Club! Welcome Aboard!

Thanks! I'm glad to be in the club, I am a long time Epi player. Got my first one in 1991 and have owned a few other brands but always came back to Epiphone you just can't beat the sound and quality for the price.

Even at the lower prices, the quality, and playability does seem to be darn good over some higher rated name brands. Not naming names of course.

My Epiphone eb3 is probably the best playing bass I've ever played,it sounds great! The only thing I wish was different is the bridge, I'd like to be able to adjust the height of the saddles but other than that it's awesome!

I've had, and played several SG Std.'s, and I prefer the short scale Epi EB-0 with its 1.5" nut more now than I did before. For the long scale though, the Epi EB-3 is one fine SG style bodied bass. I have always preferred the SG body.

That's a good looking bass! I used to have a seafoam green Epi Thunderbird reverse body. It had jumbo frets and I put in some SPB-3 Pbass pickups and it sounded amazing. It was hard to play because of the size but it was fun as hell, like driving a Cadillac compared to Pbass style basses

I have a chance to get the same bass for 180 used no case, should I get it? I'm looking to buy a new bass next week and I would like to buy something new instead of used. I have 4 Epi choices and the o-bass I'm considering. The epis come with limited lifetime warranty but no case or bag, the o-bass by Orange is one year warranty but comes with gig bag. All new choices are financed so I can get one home for around 40 bucks 0 interest. The used lp is a great deal! I can get it home for 180 cash but no case or bag. Any suggestions on what to do? Are warranties worth it?
