The bass was listed as a Demo but it is flawless. The plastic pick guard was still coated in the original plastic and it arrived way ahead of schedule and in its original packaging. I'm a guitarist but wanted a bass for my studio. This thing sounds great right out of the box. The action needs some adjustment but it arrived playable. I'll tweak the neck after it adjusts to the climate. Very happy.

Bought this EB3 to add to my line up for gigs. I usually play a Fender P bass, but wanted this SG-look for a long time. The beautiful Cherry red finish and unmistakable SG-style make this a great alternate to take to gigs. It plays great and despite the stereotype "mudbucker" pickup, it sounds great too. Just need to play with the pickup selector and the volumes to balance the sound. Got it for a great price from Sam Ash that made this a sweet deal all around.

I use this bass to make original music at home. You will need to set the action on this bass up when it arrives for better playability Very nice instrument, fun to play and sounds great.

I purchased a new Epiphone EB-3 after finally finding one in a store that I could play. Having owned a 1969 EB-3L the Epi was closer in design than the Gibson SG bass, not to mention a $1000 cheaper. When I started playing it there was terrible fret buzz on the first fret. Upon further inspection the nut was cut low on 3 out of the 4 strings. How could this be on a new instrument from the factory. One of the salesmen tried to shim the nut, but when I got it home the bass was almost unplayable. You had to be a gorilla to play any first fret notes. Now that I was bummed out about that, the bass felt more like a block of wood than a fine instrument. When I returned it I played a new SG bass. Nice sound, comfortable but not what I was looking for. I guess you can't go back in time.

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; [...]

Another great bass from Epiphone! You can't beat the price for what you are getting. It sounds and plays so great.

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
