redstriper Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Here is a lovely Epiphone EB-0 30" short scale bass. it is four months old and hardly used. It plays and sounds great - loud, deep and punchy with a good straight neck, nice action and excellent build quality. There are 2 tiny dints on the back of the neck which are too small to photograph, otherwise it is absolutely mint. It still has the plastic covering on the scratch and back plates and it comes in the original box. I want £100 including UK delivery via DHL.

The only Epi EB set necks are the long scale EB-3 and the short scale Elitist EB-3, which is a rare as the fecal matter produced by rocking horses.

harryharold Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 well if there's no possibility of finding a set neck one it makes this quite appealing, i have been lusting after mike watts bass and want modify one of these to look similar. not sure you can go wrong for the price, i'll have a little think, and look into getting a bridge and pickups etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I wouldn't change any of the hardware until you've tried it. The pup is powerful and meaty, very loud and the bass growls like an angry lion. It has a unique sound, probably due to the solid mahogany and the neck humbucker, it's ideal for wild aggresive rock and also has the retro look for indie bands. The bridge and tuners are good and sturdy and it stays in tune no problem, in fact the overall build quality is excellent and it looks stunning. It is very lightweight, easy to play and I could see a young rocker having a lorra fun with it. I fitted rotosound black nylon RS88s in a vain attempt to tame the beast and I will include those with the original unused roundwounds in the deal.

henry norton Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Looks nice. What's the action like? Has it been set up at all or is it 'as is' from the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 The action is quite low and fast to play, it has not been set up and is pretty much straight from the factory. It would probably benefit from a set up, although the intonation and neck profile are fine for me. A well made instrument all round and a great buy for anyone wanting that sound and look.
