Bruce has said that he has tried reacquainting himself with an EB-3 for the Cream reunions, but thought the bass felt too small and insubstantial for him these days. An EB-1 is more of a hunk of wood and I guess the long scale mock-SG Warwick signature model was spawned by the same event. Except that Bruce didn't like how it turned out and never played it, but that has tradition with him as he didn't like the prototype Rippers from Gibson either even though he was involved in their conception in the early seventies.
