yelf Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi all, I'm learning guitar with Rockmsith 2014. (I'm really a noob) There's a category in Rocksmith where I can learn bass. So, I'm looking forward buying a bass. (not this month, tough... I've already bought a G400 pro lately) Since I love the SG design, I'm thinking of an EB-0 or EB-3 one. I suppose that the EB-3 is much better than the EB-0, but it also costs the double. (Here, an EB-0 costs 150€, and an EB-3 250€) So, I would like to know if the EB-3 was really much better than the EB-0 - I don't want to change the electronic or anything - or if the EB-0 was really that a bargain. By advance, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAl Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have an 8 track digital recording set up and I was looking for a short scale bass to add to some tunes. (my wife only gives me a limited number of square feet for my stuff) I bought an EB-O and I plug it directly to the recorder. works great. I donj't even own an amp so I don't know whether this is much help to you or not. Good Luck OldAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yelf Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 OK, thank you. I think the cheap EB-0 would be a good choice for me, especially since noone seems to think that the EB-3 is much better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old mark Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I have an EB3...it's long scale, and has 2 pickups...more versatile, more sound combinations, but I also have a short scale Hoffner copy that has its own distinctive sound and feel...if you can play both, try hem and see what you think.

yelf Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thank you. I can't try any of them, unhappily. I've bought an EB-0 online. Since it's so cheap, it can't be a wrong purchase I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Zeplin Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My new EB-0. :) I have an EB-0 that cost me $140. I like the short scale especially sitting around the piano as it doesn't take up as much room and I find it more comfortable to play than my long scale bass. The EB-3 also is set neck with trapezoid inlays as opposed to bolt-on with dot inlays like the EB-0 but I am not too concerned about that and I think it is a great bass for the money. I swapped out the reflector knobs, coloured in the white stripe on the pickguard and the 'E' on the TRC, painted the P/G screws heads black and added some inlay stickers to the fretboard. Enjoy your new instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
