Epiphone EB0

[Volker Kirstein]

Hmm... does this diode pair to replace the tone cap trick work on any bass? Or is it specific to EBs?
NVM. I found the answers.

Hi Guys,
just bought an EB-0 witch model 1 Pickup and switch via "craigslist" (called different in germany).

I just wonder, if it's usual, that the fretboard is longer than the neck and not cuted round, like the
end of the neck? Never seen that before on any other bass.

Here's mine ,artec alnico sidewinder all parts mini humbucker VVT side mount barrel jack tone capacitor selector switch. 047/.1 mfd. push pull series parallel for the sidewinder aka mudbucker, put some nuts string ends so windings don't rest on saddles on bridge, old school fix.

OK. Yes, occasionally, I also like to play with the hard driven tone that a real mudbucker can provide. But I don't like the 30-inch scale of most EB-style guitars, and the 34-inch Gibson mid-70's EBL is as rare and expensive as hen's teeth. Over the course of things in the last year I found an Epi EB-0 body that, well, just don't look under the pickguard (that is why it was so inexpensive at the time), and a no-name 32-inch scale neck. Because of left hand arthritis, I now play mostly 32-inch scale basses. A luthier friend helped me clean up the neck pocket so the neck would be stable. I moved the bridge studs back two inches for the longer scale. Artec pickup with all the windings that an original has. Instead of a fixed choke I put in a third knob with a Q-Filter, which works marginally. I have the double-diode circuit on the mini switch and it works great for me. A long, long, time ago I found one of the now-discontinued sustain bars that tucks under the string anchors. Being a mid-scale, I found a set of GHS Brite Flats that have good tone and fairly even tension across the strings. Pic attached. Rock on!
