Epi EB-3 Elitist ?

[Iome]

To each his own and to me my basses are female and that's that !     What's more: I've named each and every one of them ......... 

Yes, yes, off course....i'm sure Mark agree with you....

Do you have to use a transsexual lesbian bass to get a ballsy sound or will a bull dyke bass do the job?...or are pickups masculine and the correct ones (a pair I assume) are all you need?  I'm confused.

The term 'scream like a little girl' comes to mind for some reason.

Do tell? What are there names? I've only named one: my Danelectro is named Ruby.

[Chris P.]

All my basses have female names. In the last ten years I bought and sold some things, so I had over 40 basses in my house. Means I had to come up with lots of names...
Most of the time I use names of female friends and sometimes famous people. For example: My Gretsch is called Meryem and named after a gorgeous and crazy Turkish ballet dancer from Rotterdam (the city Uwe bombed).

Cool, my SG Bass' called Ruby also ........ Presently the other ladies in my harem are called Nellie ( P ), Marie ( Robin Ranger ), Lucy ( Tele II ), MaryAnne ( Rivoli ), Elenore ( Vista Musicmaster ), Candy ( Red Starfire ), Betty ( Ibanez CS ), Sheila ( Black Starfire ) & Donna ( the object of this thread ) .......

Of course all names are related to ( one or more ) songs, e.g. Donna's named after Donna The Prima Donna which is on the b-side of the ol' Dion DiMucci Ruby Baby 45 I've got in my meager singles collection and since the SG & the EB-3 are related it was the obvious choice .......

you really have some good weed in Holland....

No Runaround Sue?  

Ruby Baby was a hit in 1962, He'll Only Hurt you was on the flip side. Donna The Prima Donna was the A side in 1963, I never could figure out why they put Ruby Baby (again) on the other side.

For Iome:

[Basshappi]

Droombolus, that Epi looks absolutely killer!
Congrats!

on the "other" subject, My '75 Precision (the one from the story) is the only bass I have that I refer to as "She" or "Her".

[Droombolus]

So they tell me ...... 

No Runaround Sue?  

I had a MIM 60-s classic J called Sue but she wandered off ........

[Droombolus]

Sisters .....

[Basvarken]

Cool! The Mud Sisters

[Droombolus]

Finally had the opportunity to compare these two babies with band practice last Wednesday.  Our drummer is awating a gall bladder operation and had been unable to attent for weeks........

The Elite's Sidewinder has clearly more output than the SG's TB-Plus. It handles like a thoroughbread, only very precise playing will get you a constant sound level. It isn't a Mud but it sounds like its first cousin, more high-mids and highs but not enough low-mids to make the choke a serious sound option. On the choke it sounds much too civilised to my taste, it may be an option when I find myself in an acoustic setting and she's the only bass around.

Just like the TB-Plus PUP she produces an easy sweet spot combined with the mini HB and with the mini dialed back just a little she cuts through the band mix like a mo-fo. But in comparison the SG sounds like a wasp to the Elite's bumble bee. The SG sound is a more modern variation on the Mud theme where the EB-3 is only once removed from the old familiar sound. Through the thicker body and thicker, broader neck it sounds much more meaty. She's got a vibe of her own going and no doubt will prove a very nice addition to my collection.

Will this be enough Mein Führer or is ex-communication still looming ahead ?
