White Epi EB3
« on: July 03, 2008, 01:58:13 PM »
 I just got Rocknraydukes white Epi EB3 I love this bass ! I had a cherry one when they first came out, I put a 60's mudbucker in it and it sounded fantastic, I'll do the same with this. To be honest this is one of my favorite versions of the EB3. The thicker 70's body but more sculpted like a 60's, long scale neck with a much better profile than the 70's EB3s and the fingerboard is nice and low on the body. For the $ ihmo this is a great value in the EB3 world. Pics to come. Ok heres a lousy one

Nice bass. I had one once and liked it.

Do the basses get their own room at the new house?

 Yes ! A small one, I have a room all picked out ! Note moving boxes and packing tape in the back ground. We take early posession on the 12 and close on the 18. It's coming fast, I spent today cleaning out the barn, man where did all this stuff come from ?  :o

I was over at my buddies house this morning wireing up the Tbird and I told him about my white Epi EB3 and how I wanted to put a 60's mudbucker in it. John walks out of the room and comes back with a nice vintage Gibson mudbucker ! I live a charmed life. Only thing is I cant find my soldering iron. :(

Now that's a good friend!

Since you can't find your soldering iron, that's a good enough reason to go out and buy yourself a nice Weller soldering station.

I bought a Gibson because of Debby, a Fender because of Freddie, I booked a room at the Marriott Hotel because of Steve and I mooned someone because of Keith.
