Authorized by Gibson, with the EB-0 Electric Bass, Epiphone has brought back a classic bass guitar of the early '60s. Based on the SG, this guitar-sized (30-1/2" scale) electric bass is a great axe for anyone not quite large enough for a full-size bass. Though small and light, the Epiphone EB-0 Bass has huge sound, and full-size people can play it too.
When I first decided to play bass, I knew I wanted a nice, cheap bass with a small scale, because I'd never played before, and I'm a girl with small hands, and also because I wanted to save money (who doesn't? =]) The bass itself is very well-made, considering its price, though I have found that the nut on the output jack seems to twist around when it's plugged in, and after constantly re-tightening it I've had the bad luck to snap some of the wires inside (a problem fixed with a few screwdrivers, a razor and electric tape). My other complaint is that it is SO GOSHDARN HEAVY. It starts to kill my shoulder after a few songs...which isn't all that fun. But all in all, a great starter bass. But get a good, wide strap that's easy on your shoulders to help distribute the weight more evenly.
I was delegated to play bass in our classic rock band but never played bass and never even owned one. I got this bass and consider myself lucky. Not knowing a thing about bass I had no idea this was a short scale (great for a problamatic left wrist). Easy to adjust easy to play and sounds great over our PA. I can't wait to get a bass amp and start really seeing what this little baby can do. A great value for the money.
I've been playing bass on and off for 15 years and I decided to get an instrument to just play around the house. I've owned Rickenbackers and Fenders (USA made) and I thought I was going to get a "toy bass" for $200 but I was shocked at how amazing this instrument sounds! If you want something that's lightweight, comfortable, and sounds great, this is the bass for you. I absolutely recommend this bass.
