Those are pretty nice too...

Maybe a good thing we don't have too many musicstores around here, and pawn shops are non existant in Denmark...

Ya, there's not many pawnshops around here, they all, usually, have ridiculous prices, and have never seen any higher end guitars or basses at any of them. But I have no complaints with this one!

Stick to your guns!

I dunno if that was aimed at me or Larry... but it's worth noting that I haven't done that since I found out what an inconvenience it was to some of my brothers & sisters here. It's also worth noting that I refrain from posting about 2/3 of the responses that leap into my mind, simply to reduce "clutter". I still don't like multi-quoting... and would rather exercise restraint, than use it. It's cool though. It ain't MY house... it's OUR house

Unfortunately not yet. I still need to source screws for the tuner
I'd like to get a Hipshot drop tuner on it, but nothing on their website looks like a match

Full set of (nickel) Ultralites then.

Edit: you did say chrome bridge ... chrome tuners then.

You could always borrow a screw from the remaining three tuners - This way they will all have 3 screws each, which should be sufficient for holding them in place...

They have a 4 screw baseplate. Closest thing appears to be the BT1, which is for EBMM’s and G&L’s. I’ll email Hipshot though, see if they do have anything.

Depending when I get strings and when I figure out a long term solution, I might do that for a while.

Haven't gotten that far yet. Gotoh is next in my search

Long, but funny, NBD story.
Last week I bought 2 Epi bridges off of @wolfkeller , one chrome and one black, the black one being for the Goth project, chrome one just to have. My dad tried telling me to only get the one I needed, but I didn't listen. Fast forward to today, I finally had the chance to pick them up this morning before I did a bunch of running around. Went about my day doing the running around. Just before we went home, my dad decided to go to a couple pawnshops to look for a small air nailer, one of the pawnshops we stopped at was the same one I b!tched about a few months ago that had damaged Thunderbirds for stupid prices. When we went in, there was THIS! A WHITE Epiphone EB-3...... MISSING THE CHROME BRIDGE, and 3 screws on the E-tuner. For the low price of $70.00 cash! I plugged it in and tapped on the pups and got sound so the electronics aren't fried. Didn't check truss rod though. Overall looks like it's in good condition. But the icing on the cake is I got to tell my dad "Atoadaso"!

@PillO I actually have 2 FSO basses, only 1 with tort though (EDIT: 3 if you include EBMM StingRay)

Really nice score. Play it well; it looks great (subject to bridge, tuner(s), strings).

Beautiful bass... Still kicking myself for not buying one before they went out of production... At least I got one of the Ebony ones later on.

I keep eyeing a red EB3, but it doesn't currently fill a need for me. That could change though.

At least I got 2 out of 3 right: It was an Epi, and it was Alpine White...

Close only counts with nuclear weapons.

To all of the above quotes...
!!!EXACTLY!!! times a thousand!

Note: to balance out @theFixer multi posting responses I've decided to do a lump sum quote. This is my punishment for using W*F with out the asterisk.

IMHO... this is the appropriate way to use multi-quote. One response to several posts. Again... this is ONLY MY OPINION. I have nothing but respect and admiration for our Queen, and she has made it crystal clear that she supports the use of multi-quote in the manor in which we here, are most familiar. I have made the conscious choice, to restrain myself, as opposed to using a feature I'm uncomfortable with. If any of you feel I'm not doing an adequate job of doing so... a polite tap on the shoulder via PM is certainly welcome. No reasonable request will be refused

So, you have a hollow body and a mahogany neck... Expectations!?

But, if you use the strap appropriately (i.e. long; bass hanging on your hip) it is not a problem.

Thanks! I intend to play it a lot when I get it going!
Nuclear weapons and guessing someone's new bass aren't the same?!

Thanks!
I will get there eventually
