Japan Epiphone EB-3

[Kenny Lind]

Could anyone please help me with any information about this bass. I have replaced the original pickups with a DiMarzio Model One DP120 in the neck and a Seymour Duncan SRB-1n in the bridge.

 

[Engle]

That's beautiful! How does it play?

 

[shojii]

Wow, Gibson-shaped headstock on an Epi...

 

[Pdaddy1978]

Wowee.....Open book headstock!

 

[rodak]

Very nice! So, is that from, what, the 70s? I don't know much about old Epi's.

 

[J Wilson]

MIJ ? ?

 

[elgranluis]

Thats an epiphone elite or elitist. Those were around in the 2000-ish. The Gibson headstock is supposed to be for JDM.

 

[burgerdj]

I’d rock the hell outta that. Sweet bass!

 

[DaveParker39]

gorgeous

 

[PennyroyalWe]

Is it a 30.5? Or is it an EB-3L?

 

[Iristone]

This colour looks great! I'd sort of even prefer the stock bridge pickup, though, how does the Duncan sound?

 

[fretno]

Yeah that Duncan is a Rickenbacker neck pickup. Not a big deal though especially if it fit ok and it sounds good. IMO a stock Gibson humbucker sounds good there too.
