Unique and useful tonal properties.
Epiphone instruments may have some quality issues. Here and there a customer gets a bad one. Thankfully, the one I purchased from Sweetwater is nearly flawless. I did have to level and re-crown one fret. I replaced the factory roundwound strings that came on the bass with medium gauge La Bella flatwounds. Perfect. I then set the intonation and adjusted the string height to a low… read more clearance. No dead notes or buzzing. Again, perfect. The neck is very ergonomic and plays with minimal effort. The bass is neck- heavy. I rest my forearm on the bass body to counter the neck and headstock weight. This works and does not interfere with playing the instrument. The Epiphone EB3 is aesthetically a beautiful bass. Every quality aspect about the bass is comparable to that of a $1,500 bass. The hard shell case is sturdy. The pair can be purchased for a shade over $. And that is a fantastic price.
Great Bass, Great Price!
Absolutely in love with this bass. Offers a nice contrast to my Precision, and it's capable of so many different tones, from hi-treble/mid rocking fills to a fat bass-y low end just like you'd hear in a Cream song. Doesn't hurt that it looks great to boot. Definitely a great purchase and a highly underrated bass for its price.
Excellent bass
My new bass just came in and after I got it unpacked I sat down with a tuner to check it out and to my surprise it"s ready to play right out of the box. I couldn"t be happier. Thanks Sweetwater!
Eb3
great bass put some flatwounds on it sounds great,.but most of all Bart Amburn is great to deal with a real player and easy going
Sweetwater experience
The EB3 has exactly the sound for the music I love. A little gritty for some tastes, but for rock perfect. Easy to play, thin neck for us with less than large hands. Controls are simple and easy to use. The fit, finish and overall appearance was perfect. No blemishes, nicks, scaches, etc. It was even in tune when I received it. The staff at Sweetwater were phenomenal. It may be… read more the best I have ever dealt with in my many days. From beginning to end a six star experience. Come for the excellent bass, stay for the service.
