Epi EBM-4 (Reverse headstock)
« on: November 21, 2012, 10:08:51 AM »
Hey guys,
Anyone here have any experience/input on the EBM-4 (reverse HS & gold pickups/hardware)?
I'm not much of a fan of some of Epiphone's newer stuff, but their older basses intrigue me a bit.

The bass is 15 years old and was rarely played.
He's asking $300 USD in excellent shape - haven't seen it yet.
Trying to see if it's worth the trip on this horrible driving day.

======
Nevermind, I just found some info on it, some previous sales info, as well as a video.

You can close this.
Thanks,

Steve

Well, since you asked....

The few I tried, I really liked.  They look pretty cheap, but I liked the feel and sound.  I think $300 is a little high. I've seen these going for $150 fairly often.

Agree with Gary, $300 is way high no matter the condition.

Thanks guys.  I've been seeing them sold anywhere from $100-150 in great condition.
If this one was more in that range, I'd probably take a stab at it.

Thanks for the input.

I think those are made by samick. Nice modern basses but nothing special really, and I too think 300 is too much for a 2nd hand one. Go buy a tbird instead! :D
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

Samick doesn't scare me too much, but you're right - $300 can be put to great use elsewhere.
I have a late-model (2010) Epi-bird - I like it, but don't love it.
I really want one of those BaCH birds.  I'm hoping Santa will notice how good I've been all year.
