bartelby Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 So I’m up in Coventry visiting my folks, for the first time in 20 months. I see bass direct post on FB for an Epiphone EB-3. Someone asks for scale length “30” “ is the reply. Now I’ve always wanted an EB-3 and I was sure the Epiphone ones are 34”. This morning I happened to be going to Leamington, a short hop from BD. So I thought I’d pop in to see. Was handed the bass, it certainly felt like 34”. I ask and the guy said “it’s 30”, but lets check” “Oh, it’s 34”!?. Never knew these came in 34” “ Bugger… So, here it is! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Given how much I rate my recently acquired Epiphone SG guitar I I can only assume this has to be of the same quality, in which case you’ll have scored a cracker there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels very solidly put together, all the controls are nice, smooth and quiet. As I'm away from home I only have my Zoom B3 to play with and I think the EB's output is just a little too hot for the Zoom. But it sounds and feels great. Looking forward to hammering it through my CTM-300 on the weekend!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Back home. New strings, a clean, a bit of a set up and lots of neck dive (slippy nylon strap, will get a better one soon). But it sounds bloody marvellous!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That story doesn’t fill me with confidence as I was asking about the scale length of a bass at BD over the phone yesterday! Congrats on the bass though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the bass though! Yeah, I do find that the number of inaccuracies on their website/social media posts is fairly worrying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
