iddude 1 Report post Posted November 13, 2010 I have previously addressed in the forum the need for Gibson to reissue the EB2; it would be awesome! I think they should also make a 5 string option. I think Gibson would sell more EB2's than some of the controversial guitars they're currently making. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basshole 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2010 I wish they did too... But I think Gibson is really busy making there signature models, holy explores, robot firebirds, and other expensive signature models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basshole 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 I want to believe Epiphone produces most of there new bass reissues, I have seen a Grabber, EB, Hoffner, Les Paul... Be on the look out sometimes Epiphone makes a mistake and makes a good bass once in a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrNylon 172 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 I tried an EB0 Epi just to see how it compared to the SG Std. The main thing I noticed was the weight difference. The body was a lot heavier than the SG Std. It was a floor model and needed to be reset slightly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The body was a lot heavier than the SG Std. It was a floor model and needed to be reset slightly. GSG When I first started out on bass, I got the Epi EB-0 Bass. I liked it mainly for it's look. It had one issue it had horrible fret buzz every where. I didn't care I got a great deal on it. So I took it home, played and played. Then after awhile I got tired of the buzz so I tuned the whole bass one Octave. That got rid of the buzz, but the neck had a bow of a archery weapon. Those Epiphone are never set up right.

Gaolee 156 Report post Posted November 18, 2010 A couple months ago, I saw an old EB-0 in a pawn shop window down town, so I had to go in to see what it was like. It was pretty thrashed, but it was very good to play. I didn't run it through an amp or even think about buying it, since it was too expensive, but for a few minutes, I enjoyed playing it. If the price had been about half what they were asking, I might have thought twice about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrNylon 172 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 My 1969 EB0 was an incredible bass. I paid $349.00 brand new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
