Epiphone EB-3 Bass Guitar

The Epiphone EB-3 Electric Bass Guitar is built with the comfortable lightweight body design of the classic Gibson SG guitar. Like the Gibson SG Standard Bass on which it is based, the Epiphone EB-3 Bass has a glued in set neck and mahogany body, giving the EB-3 the great tone and long sustain that sets Gibson and Epiphone instruments apart. You know that the Ephipone EB-3 has the quality design and manufacture of a Gibson, because it is built in the Gibson-owned and operated Epiphone factory.

The Epiphone EB-3 Electric Bass features other fine features, such as a rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, dual volumed and tone controls, a 3-way pickup selector, and a 3-point adjustable bridge. The EB-3 lets you deliver a satisfying array of tones with its mini humbucking bridge pickup and large Sidewinder neck pickup. This is a bass for players who demand a lot of sound and quality for a very small price.

Comments about Epiphone EB-3 Bass Guitar:

I've been playing bass for almost 7 years now, and this was the first electric bass I'd ever purchased. I'd had it for about four months, and I loved it! It sounded good for its price, and everyone complimented its looks. After those four months, I realized the strings were too high, but when I went to tighten the bridge, the screws had come loose. At a closer look, I noticed that the screws were not in the bass, but in little metal rings that had been wedged into the bass. Not glued or anything, just wedged in, and ready to pop out and injure someone at any moment. I thought it was no big deal.. I would look into that later. So I went to see if I could shave the nut to lower them, but realized the neck was attached to the bass and was beginning to warp. This was a very sad day for me. Not only was I disappointed with epiphone; [...]

Comments about Epiphone EB-3 Bass Guitar:

this is a great bass!! i got it about 2 months ago as my first bass guitar, i compared it against a bunch of other basses including an ibanez and several comparably priced squiers, and this really was the top (close contest with the ibanez though, cant remember what model it was. Anyway, the ibanez was a lot more than what i'd been hoping to spend, and this was just right). i play this thru a 150-watt roland keyboard amp, it shake my whole basement!! my family, who previously were some of the many people who do not appreciate bass, are very impressed and have begun to see bass as a more foundational part of music. The low E string does buzz a little, but it cant be heard so much thru the amp and i havent gotten it set up yet, should be fine once i do. this is definitely a stage quality instrument.

technically I have the five string version of this guitar but they are very similar and it is a very good bass, sure I'm not the most experienced bass player in the world but I know I love this bass

Comments about Epiphone EB-3 Bass Guitar:

[...] I have been checking this thing out online for a while and never had the chance to actually play one, first off the finish very nice the picture dont do it any justice,I owned a Gibson EB-3 back in the early to mid 70's, and this baby looks, feels and sounds just like the original, the only differece is the price and this one is very neck heavey, but not a problem for me, its very well crafted, the pick ups really put out, and the neck is very fast, the only con and no big deal was it buzzed alittle on the E and A strings but a minor bridge ajustment and she was perfect, if your looking to buy the Gibson reissue SG Bass, save your money and buy this little gem, This bass truely holds its ground , dont let the price fool you, it almost did me, until I actually played this baby today and was so impressed I bought it, I recomend this bas for begginers and seasoned pro's, this thing brings me back to the british invasion, (Jack Brue, The Cream)If you try it, you'll buy it.
