Gibson Bass Guitar

While I wouldn't go quite so far as to say I've never played a Gibson bass I liked , I've definitely never played a Gibson bass that I loved.
I owned a Ripper L9-S and was "co-owner" of an EB-0, and I've played a few EB-3s, Grabbers, G3s, RD Artists, and Les Paul Triumphs. Sorry, nothing there that would ever get me to use the "love" word.
On the other hand, if you held a gun to my head and told me I had to play a Gibson bass on my next gig, I'd probably pick a Les Paul Signature model and not regret it one bit.
(Of course, that's 'cuz I know the next gig on my calendar is with a meat&potatoes rock'n'roll band and an LP Signature would probably lend itself rather nicely to that material. If my next gig was with a jazz band or a studio session I'd probably risk getting winged and try to wrestle the gun from your hand.)

i played an old EB3 bass last week which was pretty nice - alot to play around with and it felt really nice and vintage - i think it was a '70 one

This is strange, cause I love playing on it but, that's to mutch limited tone.This is just a damned good old tone like you could never find from a modern bass
