Let’s see those Epiphones

Whatcha got?

My little herd...

2017 Embassy Pro
2008 Viola
2010 EBO modded into an EB3 (DiMarzio Model One, Seymour Duncan SM3B, Grover tuners, Hipshot Supertone, CTS pots, Switchcraft switch and jack)

I’d like to get my hands on an Allen Woody at some point.

Epiphone ET 285 from Japan in the mid 1970s.

And an Epiphone 5120, also from Japan, from the early 1970s.

Oh, and then there's this one, and Epiphone EB 1 from 2000.

I wish they would bring these back again. The cost of a vintage Gibson is much too rich for me.

I don’t have anything to add except that I hope that this thread takes off. I covet a few Epiphone basses and love looking at them.

My modded eb0 (2001 that I picked up used few years back). Love it. Got me back into bass after finding out I was always in search of a shorty.

I need to add back a 3 way switch. Replaced it with varitone. So victory gold foil isn't connected at the moment.

Very nice. I was going to put a BiSonic in a second EBO that I’ve since sold. I ended up picking up a Guild Starfire so I never went through with it. I still think about it though.

Whatcha got?

1986 Epiphone Accu Bass. Bought it for $65 two years ago. Had to do a "thin CA" fix to the fretboard under the G string on the third fret for a hairline crack, has held up well ever since. Had to clean it up from top to bottom. Replaced the pups, controls and output jack with an EMG GZR P pup and control/output set. Re strung it with Chromes, had to file on the E slot on the nut a little, did a setup, and got a custom made truss rod cover with the word "Epicision engraved on it. Also used Fender Road worn knobs and pg screws as well as installed a Fender thumb rest above the "E" string.

At some point I guess it was what would be called Olympic White. But as you can see from the pics it has yellowed over time.

Barely touched anything else since getting this Embassy a few weeks ago. THAT TONE!!!
Strung with DR Black Beauties.

Love that bridge.

Love that bridge.

It's a hunk of metal for sure. Thru the body too. Should have seen it before I cleaned it up, it was literally green

The pic of the body with no guts was after it was cleaned. The pic with the bass in a stand is after it was polished.

I got mine in 1977! Only had it for a short time- know (knew) nothing about it.

 

[Pdaddy1978]

My 1961 cherry Epiphone Newport.
My first bass.
Currently being refurbished... Stay tuned.
