I'm at 15 too, it's a good number. Got there after I sold my P.

Don't let him🙂 It's a wonderful experience once you dare try it out . Can't see why tinkering with the electronics is unholy either, I'm sure T bird owners have a specific pickup they like. Or dare I say, even replace the bridge?
I've been thinking about getting an EB-3..............You're killin' it for me.
The pre-'72 EB-0/3 is a wonderful bass that shines once you swapt the mud for a good single coil.Pre' 72 EB basses are wonderful. They do need electronics tweaking to sound great. Single coil works, shorting out one of the mud coils work too. I like to wind down the mudbucker and wind a hotter bridge humbucker. Ditch the vari tone and you're ready to go, great sounding and just wonderful playing instruments that weighs practically nothing.
When Steve Swallow switched from upright to BG he also went with an EB2D. He said in an old interview that he felt weird with a solid body bass.
Not wishing to cause strife,Yeah right
If Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy was recorded with an EB-0, then it's the best use of an EB-0 I've heard. But on another interview he said, "Before the Alembic I was playing a Gibson EB-0, and it’s a nasty-sounding bass. It looked like a Chet Atkins guitar." Huh? Maybe he had an EB-2 or an EB-2D? I've never seen a picture of him with a Gibson (other than one with a black G3).
I've never heard a Stanley Clarke bass tone that has approached pleasing.Didn't he use an EB-2 on the first RTF album?
I'm enjoying figuring out the bass lines of Neil Murray.
I've always been kind of a "meat and potatoes" bass player. So some of the songs are a bit of a challenge.
But I guess one is never too old to learn
I like it, including the color. Sounds like it would be a nice neck to play. But that video clip sounds awful, at least on my laptop.
Evidently the sound of the 80's is rampant pick noise with a bit of pick-on-roundwound abrasive sliding added.
