Coooool
Funny that he doesn't want it tho.
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.

mmm but what about the sound?i sure prefer that to the warwick.go the luddites.bring back mono etc etc.
Sound wasn't the issue, after all he payed the EB-1 which isn't lightyears away from an EB-3 in sound.
I think I'd rather have Leon Wilkeson's Thunderbird, even if it's a weird color.

If you click through the pages, he's selling everything from an upright to a Hagstrom 8-string!
Does this mean that Jack didn't make as much moola from the Cream reunions as we thought?

IIRC he hasn't owned this for years, it's someone else selling it.
That was up for sale already long before the Cream reunion. He hasn't played EB-3s since West, Bruce & Laing and never had much affinity to a single instrument in the first place. He's most faithful to his Warwick fretless Thumb.
If she were that "critical" an instrument, she would be on display in a "Hard Rock" by now... ;)
Now if that was Jimmy Lea's EB3 I'd be all worked up ! :o
