The Last Bass Outpost

Sounds good. If I come across one in a music store I'll definitely try one.

Despite the advice and me trying it out, the Elite EB-3 and me are not gonna work it out together. Last week I  even bought a new Precision (Classic 50's Fiesta Red) and instantly got the tone I had in my head. That means there's a hole in the budget and the Elite is going up for sale.

Beautifull bass, but not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

No problem! I couldn't do without my dishwasher..

send me a message, thanks. either a new (to me) bass or fix the A/C in my old van and momma has been hinting for a new dishwasher???

Just sent you an email!
Hmm. Bass, A/C or a dishwasher; that's a tough one...

If you're interested; Im thinking about selling my Elite EB-3 from 2002. (Located in Europe).
Lovely bass but I'm afraid I'm more of a precision type bass player.

Thanks for the advice guys!
I'll alter the pick-up heights and try and tweak the amp as you suggested. We have another rehearsal tonight so that's an excellent opportunity. And I'll look into different strings.

I'm a big fan of flat wound strings on my Precisions, but I'll stick to rounds for the EB.

Droombolus' Elite EB-3 came into my possession a couple of months ago. Beautiful bass that really oozes quality. I've tried the EB-3 a couple of times in rehearsal, but somehow I can't get her to sound the way I want. The problem is that as a band we play in Eb and that is a bit of a challenge with the short scale. Too much mud. I'm afraid I'm too much of a Precision player...
I've put it up for sale on a Dutch bass forum, but if I could I would like to keep it. Anybody any advice on tweaking the sound?
I've tried turning down the bass and upping the mids and highs on my amp, but she's still lacking definition.
