The Last Bass Outpost

well godofthunder.... as lucky as we've been thus far for a young rock n roll act, were still very low on the musical totem pole so money bags definitely isnt my middle name but at least with our connects growing, i know what to get when the time comes

for now I stick to my fender J

musicians...eternal dreamers hahahahha

thanks again guys!

thank you so so so so much for the responses guys you're alot more friendly over here than at talkbass  

I think an EB-2 with a tech 21 VT Bass pedal to brighten and grit out some of that "dark cloud" people talk about when they say eb-2 and make it more rock n roll friendly is gonna be my choice just because the double pickup eb-2D's are soooooo much harder to find!

sound like a solid plan?

as far as the tbird thing goes, I know its been done for ages, but again especially with a lot of the same people that pushed them in the early 00's working wih us now, and already hearing "you look a lot like jared" thing, and being in nashville the last thing i need is people blahing to me about being a copy cat

Hey guys so I was referred to the bass outpost by a fellow talkbasser who said you guys really know your stuff so heres my question... I love gibson basses, more specifically to my question, the eb-3 I love the big bridge humbucker eb-3 particularly (I believe they have a different one where the big humbucker is at the neck) but heres my dilemma.... stupid i know but i HATE the sg body eb-3's have... are there any other basses that have the same sound with a bigger body? I'm tall and lanky and love the whole rock n roll "my instrument looks like it's swallowing my body alive" thing so if I could have my cake and eat it to and find a different looking body with a sound like the eb-3 it would be amazing

sidenote: I LOVE the gibson eb-2D double pickup hollowbody how much could I make that sound like said eb-3 I spoke of?

p.s. I know the example I gave is jared followill who now uses a thunderbird but also part of my dilemma being as my band is in a similar musical genre/management family as kings of leon if I used a thunderbird I'd immediately look like a copy cat so definitely no thunderbirds

p.p.s. this is the sound I'm going for
