Shouldn't you put the EEB with an Ampeg rig?
Seriously, you can't lose with any if them they are all lovely, depends on what you want out of them I guess.
I'd look for a single pickup Tbird.
My Epi Blackbird's new pots weren't delivered by the local errant post office. The guy doing the work has an arm injury here's recovering from and a mother in-law who's getting ready to unwind from her mortal coil, so I've just let it go until he has his scene together. So no Bird tomorrow, sadly... gonna have to bring my EB-3 and Hamer Mutant to tomorrow night's festivities.
Maybe we'll do Love Hurts...

I've gone off Ampeg heads since my PF500 blew up for the second time in a year. I'm a Traynor grrrl now.
deadpan n. a style of comedic delivery in which something humourous is said or done while not exhibiting a change in emotion or facial expression.
Yeah, I hesitated to add the NR. But it would be supercool. And my pick if availability and cost could be overcome lol.
The SG/EB3 is an outsider. I worry that the EEB-1 is too much of a hipster bass - and do I really need a P sound like every other bugger? That leaves the sparkle finish solid body Maranello or the NR ... please Epiphone, hear my call and release a neck-through NR with soapbar humbuckers.
Sadly as of this morning I'm no longer a T-Bird owner 
But's gone to a good home 
79 years young and still rockin though he's changed a bit from the early days
Cares not a jot about weight nor neck dive but what's that to an old Scottish miner like him
He's asking about a hardcase for it. Any recommendations folks ? Mind we're in Scotland so GC/SA/MF
or Sweetwater items will be useless. Sizes would be better.

Och aye! Surely the same anxiety many of us have had from time to time!

While I've never personally suffered from this, I have heard that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
After 60 years of marriage I'm sure she'll forgive him this.
Not so sure how she'll take the surprise Peavey combo though

I think they're an Aussie company, they have a custom shop and might be able to do a NR for you.
