I'm with Uwe all the way just about on this except that the 60's EB-O &3's did have the correct body contours and slim styling. The 70's more 'manly' thickness was lost a little in the translation but I understand what they were trying to do. If you want the real mud with something extra you need a EB-2(not the 2-D as they were trying to get some sort of tone which was not really pure(!) or the Rivoli. The '60's EB-O's & 3'etc left you stranded but fun to play. All arguments were over when in 2006 the Supreme came out and finally a Gibson that summed it all up with no arguments. So basicly the gamut is the EB-2-Supreme. All things are covered just about except one thing: Gibson got it right the very first time in what was it.. 1953: the Gibson Electric bass, almost the same as Leo Fender got it right the first time.
