The well-known Gibson designs have always been timelessly unique. The most popular shapes can also be found in the Epiphone Bass Collection. The fat lady of this exclusive selection is definitely the Thunderbird, which provides a lot of pressure with its fat and sustain-rich sound. Unique in this series is the Explorer Bass, which in this version is really only manufactured by Epiphone . Epiphone can now look back on over 125 years of history. A long time in which experience could be gathered and expanded. The founder of the Epiphone Company, Epaminondas Stathopoulos, applied for his first patent at the age of 24, which was to be followed by many more. To this day, revolutionary ideas and sensible concepts make the Epiphone guitars, basses and amps the first choice for the self-confident.

About this product

Product Information

The Epiphone EB-0 is a faithful replica of the legendary Gibson EB-0 electric bass. First made in the 1960s, it has a vintage tone as well as classic style. Featuring a classic double cutaway look, this model is simply loaded with great features. This is a four-string bass guitar. The EB-0 features a solid body carved out of mahogany. The D-profile neck, with its short 30.5-inch scale, is made out of the same tonewood. Mahogany is a medium-weight wood. As such, it is also a highly resonant and versatile wood. The Epiphone provides warm, soft music, but can produce a rocking, biting sound as well. The fretboard itself is made of rosewood, which is prized for the beautiful bright tone it produces. It is also a sturdy, oily wood. This is great because it holds its shape well, and it is not overly affected by oils from players' fingers as they glide over each fret. It is studded with attractive dot inlays. The hardware on this instrument is durable with a simple, classic look. The volume and tone knobs are 100% functional, and the all-nickel construction provides a classic chrome appearance. The three-point bridge is fully adjustable. This style of bridge gives bassists great control over the music they create. Because of features like this, this is a great tool on stage or in the studio.The single pickup on this bass is known as the "mudbucker." First seen in the 1960s on the Gibson EB-0, this is a famous humbucker model type officially called the Sidewinder. This is one of the most classic of rock pickups. It has a characteristic sludgey sound, perfect for moody or grungy rock sounds. Legendary Cream bassist Jack Bruce used the mudbucker to fuse bluesy sounds with pop-rock.One difference between the 1960s period bass and the Epiphone reissue of these guitars is the placement of this pickup. The Sidewinder is on the neck for maximum power and convenience. On the original model, it was placed on the finger guard, and the redesign allows for easy access and control. With this instrument, musicians get great classic rock acoustics along with improved design. The Slimtaper neck is another design innovation. This is a highly playable, ergonomic design for both comfort and exceptional performance, and it makes for fast and easy playing. The Slimtaper contributes to the great silhouette of this bass guitar as well. This ax benefits from accessories such as short-scale strings. Get the most out of it with reissued or 1960s period amps. This bass is the complete package for anyone who wants a classic rocking 1960s sound. It can do poppy sounds or bluesy ones and is great for beginners and experts.This is one of the most distinctive-looking basses on the market. Based on the SG electric guitar, the body style is a signature look of the brand. It features a gorgeous cherry finish that allows the wood grain to show through. The double cutout is comfortable to play and attractive. The black pick guard completes the vintage look. The headstock has the classic Epiphone look with easy-to-use tuners.

I like this bass.
I have not been playing bass for long (about a year now) but I like this one. The short scale makes it easier to play than my Dean and the sound is good. You get a little different sound from this bass because of the short scale but it is very usable. There is no fret buzz, it came correctly setup. A second pickup would give it more sonic depth but I really don't need this playing for my church. I have always liked the SG style and the finish on this is excellent. Nice deep red color with lots of shine I find this bass most attractive. The bass is used so there was some sign of wear on the bottom back of the body. Looks like it sat on the floor instead of on a stand, I had to shine the metal works on it when I got it. Overall at $150 with shipping it is a good value. I have been toying with roughing up the neck so that my hand slides easier but have not decided yet if I will do this. Bottom line I would recommend this bass even at new street price. Typical excellent Epiphone quality.Read full review

Epiphone EB-0 Electric Bass Guitar - Made in China
Recent model Epiphone EB-0 electric bass guitar. 30.5" scale. You will find these guitars made in Korea and China, I got a China model. You will find these guitars with plywood bodies and 3?-piece wood bodies, I got a real wood body. I used a late 60's Gibson EB-0 in my youth, and have wanted one of my own ever since. The Epiphone's are great basses for the money. If you are expecting just another bass that emulates the Fender classic P-bass or J-bass, look elsewhere. Many people discount the short scale bass guitars as beginner basses or something less than the typical classic 34" scale bass. One only has to listen to the late Felix Pappalardi on the Mountain records to hear what an EB-0 bass will do. I believe that jack Bruce used an EB-0 at various times in his career also. The Epiphone is no lightweight as they have a substantial piece of wood for the body and a hefty, yet comfortable neck. The fret finish on the one I got was perfect. I usually do a fret levelling and polish as soon as I get a guitar, it wasnt neccesary to do on this one as there were no fret buzzes and the action was as level as I would expect to be on the entire neck. These basses are very sensitive as to where you pluck the strings. As you move closer to and further away from the bridge, there is a distinct variation in the tonal response, in a good way. The volume pot does what its supposed to do and the tone control pot shows a good range of change as you vary its position. The bass is very comfortable to heft and play, and all notes are easy to reach. Even though the original Gibson EB-0 has a set neck, IMO there is nothing lost with this Epiphone design with a bolt-on neck. The neck joint to body pocket fit is very snug, and the neck is fitted to the body without having a shim to get the neck to body angle right for the bridge height. IE, they did it right, unlike so many supposedly reputable manufacturers who wont take the time to do it the right way without a nasty shim in there; imo, the greatest contributor to a blah sounding guitar. The bridge is a piece of magnificent engineering and probably contributes to the great range of tones you can get from these basses. The only issue I have with these basses is that you have to be conscious of the neck all the time, as the guitar is neck heavy.Read full review

Great little bass!
I own one of these (the Epiphone EB0). I also own two of the USA built Gibson SG basses. They really are remarkably similar. Of course, the Gibson adds the bridge pickup, which really adds greatly to the tonal range. The bridge pickup adds much needed "bark" to the thump and thud of the neck mud-bucker. That being said, if you roll the bass off some on your amp, the Epi EB0 is an extremely useful bass. Hard to beat as a practice/travel bass. It plays great, looks great, and has plenty of deep, classic tone. My EB0 is also somewhat heavier than both of my SG basses. I suppose because the body is a little thicker. I paid $125 for mine used, and it's about the best bargain in a bass I've ever scored in many years. I put on some LaBella 760 FL-S short scale flats, and it's a most enjoyable bass to play.Read full review

Epi EB-0 : Making bass fun again
The Epi EB-0 is slightly smaller than standard basses, due to the 30.5" scale. This gives it a comfortable compact feel. The mahogany body and neck, lend to its quality and pleasantly heavy feeling. It balances nice, better than the full scale EB-3 bass, which tends to be neck heavy. Sound is a bit limited from the single humbucker, but let's face it, most of us don't actually use all the adjustments that are available on most other models anyway. The EB-0 looks awesome, feels great, sounds nice, and is just plain fun to play. At the price of under $250 new, it's a no-brainer to add to your bass collection! Rhythm Dave - Cheap Brew Band

Cheap Bass not cheap on sound
Very "playable" instrument. Not too heavy and intonation is fine all the way up the neck. Good beginners instrument with a nice fretboard. I run it through may Marshall. No problemo!
