Leodhas Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi, Basically I have a number of Epi guitars including a Masterbilt and Sheraton II and now I am going to get my first bass and I thought of you good people, therefore I have a question! Which of the following bass guitars would you choose, basically which one would you pick! I just can't choose one and I'm after your advice! 1) The Epiphone Les Paul special bass 2) Epiphone EB-3 bass 3) Epiphone Thunderbird IV 4) Epiphone Embassy Special IV It's for my home studio as a go to bass, it won't be used for giging and basically only used occasionally for simple backing bass lines. So which would you have, please answer as I'm pulling my hair out. Which is the best bass out of those for what I have in mind? Thank You for any help, Louie.

Hungrycat Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 None. Go get you a Fender Jazz Bass. The most versitale bass on the planet. Bar none. I'm loving my Squire Vintage Modified 70's Stlye J Bass. It blows a way my MIM and MIJ models. Jazz Basses are availible at every price point.

I kinda like the EB-3, not real heavy.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyg Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I like Jazz basses but I prefer a Precision so if you're dead set on an Epiphone I'd go with the Embassy. (What's it like in Leith these days? I used to live there years ago and it was a grim place back then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjael Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I like Jazz basses but I prefer a Precision so if you're dead set on an Epiphone I'd go with the Embassy.(What's it like in Leith these days? I used to live there years ago and it was a grim place back then) Better yet' date=' I'd go with an Accu-Bass, they are great and go for cheap these days. If you don't [i']need[/i] an Epi, then like everyone else, get a Jazz Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaolee Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have played a Jazz and didn't like it as well as my bottom of the line Thunderbird or old EB-2. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungrycat Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm buying either a squier standard p in walnut-satin or the vintage mod 70's j bass. Good choice either way. I'm SOOOO impressed with my VM 70's J-Bass. Like I said, it blows away my MIM and MIJ Jazzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
