Seems like it can be quite versatile if you actually flip between pickups and control your tone. I bet she'd sound like velvet with some flats too.
g is out of tune
I had one of these, but didn't like it because I had previously owned a '66 Gibson EB-3 and the Epiphone just couldn't match it. Plus, it felt weird because of the long neck. My current Gibson bass is an SG and I have to admit, I prefer it to my old EB-3. It actually feels better and sounds at least as good, if not better.
Sounds like ass, which I believe is standard "vintage spec" for those!
From what I have just experienced with my newly arrived Epiphone longscale version: I have trouble to lay it down. From what I can compare to the Gibson originals in their reviews, this longscale version definitely ' growls' much more in the low end sounds. On top of that , I find that this Epiphone version is much more versatile in the sense that you can approach it more outside of just a bass instrument. It handles much more like a guitar, especially when you use the bridge pickup ( what I did not expect because at first I preferred the fat neck pickup sound from what I heard in the first reviews I listened to). From the bass sound of Black Sabbath, the sound of Pink Floyds ' One of these days' or the fat bluesy sound of ' Roadhouse blues': this instrument can do it all.
It's incredible how underrated this piece has been.
What song are you playing? Can't place it and it's making me crazy
Sounds so good. And they not expesive now days
…but they changed the scale length?! Why?! That makes it definitely `not and EB3. I mean you expect different pickups, bridge, tuners … but its a different guitar underneath all that!
Not saying its not a great bass, but the short scale is SUCH a huge aspect of the EB3
Great bass. What strings does this bass have during this video?. Thanks for sharing.
Rosewood?
This bass is crap but looks nice. If you want to train to be a better bass player works.
Thinking about getting this bass!!!
HOW MANY MOOREEE TIMESSS
Very interesting to consider that the Gibson SG bass is short scale length while only the Epiphone is full length.
Some people may prefer that (I would a s a lanky, long-limbed metal player). So there's a real unique reason that could make the Epiphone both a better choice and more affordable for some.
Wanted to compliment you on your no-nonsense review of the Epiphone EB-3. I am a professional bassist of an embarrassing age (been playing since 1965), and I just wanted a good overview of the instrument. You provided a complete tour of the instrument, during which you answered every question I could have had. Thank you! Most refreshing!
"SG style and Gibsonesque" That ususally means "Cheap copy" but DEFINITLEY not here!!
I ordered one ! black color too. I can't wait to have it and record.
I am hoping to get one but I think I will go with cherry red to match my sg.
Hola, ¿da problemas de cabeceo? gracias
NECK DIVE!! Beware. This isn’t a review. It’s a sales pitch.
