I shall take your comments on board as I begin to have a sniff around for a suitable tool which shall be after Christmas. I have recently looked at the Squier and shall investigate further.
Is the EB-3 exceptionally neck heavy for all users or does the players build and stature come into it regarding being able to compensate for this ?

I would stay away from the epi as not only is it neck heavy as mentioned, the sound aint that good unless you are looking for a 60`s type sound, if you get me drift. The tone controls dont do much and are a bit cheap and nasty, so, for slightly more than the cost of the epi, you should try a classic vibe squire, p bass or a jazz, they are both excellent.
Having owned an eb03 and a epi thunderbird, they look cool but are mince to live with.
Try a cheap Ibanez, a gsr200 or similar. Great build quality, active pickups. Good luck! Jezza
