The Last Bass Outpost

Playing my Studio T-Bird at a recent gig near a small town in Bavaria.

Got back my EB-3 and absolutely adore the GHS brite flats on it. The baby blue silks at the headstock look nice. The tension feels tight but that's a good thing for a short scale IMO. Added an Allen wrench under the neck pickup cover on the E string side and have to say that to my ears it definitely helped make the E string louder. It's also possible the strings may be helping with the balanced output as well. I have no hesitation giving GHS Brite Flats a ringing endorsement with bells on, especially for short scale Gibsons.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try them.
The output is very balanced, much more than my Rickenbacker 4004, unfortunately.

Thanks for the welcome!
I got it online from a shop in chicago for a good price because the body was once broken in the control area.
Maybe I'll leave the strings on for a while. It made me search my music library for some fitting songs that I quite enjoyed playing.

Was finally able to pick up the bass at the customs office today.
The playability is phenomenal. I have to get used to the flatwounds though.

i like this one much better.
