Is that thing the full size of a Gibson SG in either guitar or bass form, or is it a sort of scale model?

Rick Finch played/plays a Fender, but this is still pretty awesome! Hope you post some more KCSB tunes in the future (how about “Boogie Shoes?”).

i hear ya, I have a Rickenbacker 4003 , and i feel the same way about the neck pickup on it. The configuration on this bass kind of reminds me of a Rickenbacker.Anyway, i appreciate the input and I will probably pick one of these things up, and mess around with it, maybe even swap the pickups for aftermarket Gotoh ones.

A good clear bassy sound however is very pretty hard to get. What you are hearing on this recording is me playing over the original bassline, so it is not accurate to judge the EB3’s sound with this video. The bridge pickup is pretty useless on its own but when paired up with the neck pickup, it sounds pretty cool.

Well, I got my EB3 used and it was in pretty good condition (like new). The finish is definitely not bad but its not also not its best feature. My one is made in Korea. The bass is very playable only that its extremely headstock heavy. The neck size is between a Rickenbacker and P Bass.

I also wanted to ask you how you would rate that Epi EB-3, in terms of finish, and overall playability. I love the proper long scale SG basses, the style of it is awsome. Sounds very bassy to me but that maybe just the way you eq’ed it.
