Dark Star'd Epi EB3

(1/3) > >>

PhilT:
turned up on UK eBay. A Fred H special. Unless there's a lot of activity in the next 3 hours, looks like it could go for the cost of the pickups alone.

I thought about it, but I'd probably only want the pickups to put in something else. And then what do you do with a routed Epi EB3 body?

Basvarken:
Yeah I saw that too. If I had the dough I'd buy it...

barend:
looks great with that pickups. Has anyone tried these pickups?
The epi EB3 is a really nice bass. I had one too (for only one month). Too bad it had terrible neck dive. It had to go for a real EB3.

gweimer:
I've heard the DarkStar pickup used in a Fender Precision.  Nice and fat. 

Dave W:
I remember getting some flak "elsewhere" for suggesting that Dark Stars were subject to the same laws of the marketplace as any other aftermarket pickup. You can't put $400 in pickups and expect the resale value of the bass to go up $400. It doesn't work that way. Unless you find just the right buyer, it's more likely that you'll reduce the resale value.
