julaj Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) 405 GBP delivered. Greco EB3 made in Japan, 1985. Mahagony body with maple set in neck and long scale which makes it sound great in low tuning too. Neck is straight, frets not abused, low action (now it's 2,5 mm and no problem to set it lower), technically is great. Looks nice for it's age, a few minor dings mostly in the back. Useless 3-point bridge replaced by a nice and fully adjustable brass one. Strong pickups, thick and dynamic sound, it's a beast with overdrive. Forget about Epiphone or another cheap copies of EB3, there is no comparison to Greco, it's best vintage Japan guitar I've ever had.

tommorichards Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 i think the price may be a bit high seeing as how you can get a EB3 (admittedly an epiphone) for around £150.
julaj Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Sure, you can also buy a crate of beer instead. Also a jazz bass for £150 is not a problem (I'm sorry to say everything I can say about Epi EB3 quality is 4 letter word which starts with c and ends with p). I know it's risky to buy not a very cheap guitar without trying it but come on, it's Japan at it's best. I could buy new Gibson SG bass when it used to cost about £500 in Poland but decided to go with Greco. If anyone wants I can record some soundclips thru Sunn tube amp and Orange 15 cab with rounds or flats. Edited March 25, 2013 by julaj
