I got a Epiphone EB3 and its awesome.

[TUEP]

I know these basses take some slack, but I got a 2025 model in ebony and it's setup with a low action. Tone variation, quick action, finger or pick style. Awesome bass!

 

[CletusMarley]

Sweet!

The only criticism I've heard is about the bridge, which can be replaced, and the difficulty cutting throguh the mix on stage, but that can be a matter of EQing the other band members accordingly

Enjoy!

Congrats on the new EB3. Stop by the club and say hi sometime…

Thread 'SG & EB Bass Club'

Nov 29, 2014

The SG-EB Bass Club!


SG-EB rules as follows:

1) It's about the body style! Gibsons, Epiphones, tribute, and customs are all ok. Must be the SG type body.
2) No basses marked as original brand or country of origin that are not (no blatant counterfeits)
3) Numbers given on request, but no pictures no proof!
4) We like pictures
5) Standard forum rules apply otherwise.

If only you had posted a picture... it might be true.

Seriously, tune out this echo chamber and enjoy it. Congratulations & Compliments!

 

[Peteyboy]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to insist on a picture here.

 

[Pep]

No pic, no bass.

I have an EB-0 and I like it a lot. But the EB-3 just seems to exacerbate the neck dive problem. I think I would add a bridge PUP to my EB0 before I would opt for the EB-3. But hey, as long as it works for you, rock on Garth!

Loved my EB3 when i had it.

I upgraded my bridge pickup to the rickenbacker seymour duncan replacement pickup for a little extra attack - worked a treat.

However, i only had an epiphone eb3 so i'm not sure if the gibson bridge pickup

 

[Iristone]

I used to have a Tokai SGB-48, and replaced the bridge pickup with the Epiphone one. Works like a treat!
From my shop demo, the stock Epiphone neck Sidewinder is also brighter than normal Mudbuckers but still deep (similar to the last few original Mudbuckers). It sometimes gives a "foil-like" midrange, though, and that could be why it needed the midrange choke (you could mod it and install one with a switch).
