my new epiphone eb3 sg bass, and epiphone g-400 guitar.

the bass (red) has such a slender neck its incredible. great bass tone, nice feel, though its pretty heavy. the guitar (black) feels great sounds great, is pretty light. i was a lil aprehensive getting epihone, but couldn't yet afford the real gibson ones. but i found out for themost part epiphone makes these to gibson specs. so i took a gamble. glad i did.

the marks on the guitar pick guard, i think its called are scratches, from it falling, nothing else happened so im glad it was only that, sucks though, but i figure i could prob by a new guard. so no big deal long as it plays great.

Nice BASS Phantasm777 … this reminds me of my first bass.

I had a brownish Gibson EBOL.  It had one pickup and the headstock
was like a classical guitar.

I just ordered myself black body Epiphone EB-3 Limited Edition Bass. So, it's really a great pleasure to read this thread with all positive comments. The music to my ears

[phantasm777]

sanfi4u  other than the neck being a bit heavy, be careful it sill slide down when you let go, if you have a strap down. the neck is excellent nice and thin. the big pick up grabs the low end well. it's now my main bass. i love the look and the feel of it. i was very apprehensive of getting epihones but i read up on them and talked to those owning them and got a lot of good feedback.

Oh yeah, nice!! I had a G400 for quite a while, it served me well, wrote my first 40 songs with it. Not as pretty as yours is, but it played well. You're gonna love in time if you don't already.

Right on!

Several of my friends have used Epiphone guitars for many years and they still have them.
They play as good as the Les Paul's I've used over the years. A good choice.

Great choice!!!

I've got the Iommi G-400. I replaced all the pots, switches and jacks with real Gibson parts. You have to slightly drill out the holes when replacing the pots. The pick up leads were super extra long, so I shortened those. It makes a difference!! Not a real big one but the overall tone is improved and worth the effort.

I was just looking at that bass guitar! I'm a fan of Epi's!!

I need a bass guitar and I dont want to use the guitar to bass in the BR-80. I'm trying to do strictly acoustic but I would be happy with electric bass using an acoustic simulator. The Epi is about the same price as the acoustic bass I'm looking at. But I don't know how well the the "Acoustic" guitar model works with a bass guitar on a BR-80. We need for someone to try it!

Again, great choice!!

the tony guitar looks a lot like the goth SG. i've seen both before. very cool!

My Epiphone EB-3 Bass stands packed in a box beside the table in the hotel room. I'll take it back home tomorrow and will give it a try. I'm sure I'll like it after all of your comments

[phantasm777]

well? how is it? my fav bass is a rick, but so far this one is my next fav.!

I'm back home with my new Epi EB-3 Limited Edition Short Scale Bass. It looks great. Well made, very convenient to play and has a great versatile tone. As it's short scale it has no neck diving problem. Overall it's a very good bass for the money. I just love playing it. Attached please find a couple of pics. Hope you'll enjoy them.

your pics cannot be seen now but i saw them earlier. you have a short neck on your epiphone bass? how many total frets? i have the long neck eb3 but it is now my main bass and use it on everything i do now. same as my epi-sg guitar.
