When my original bass was stolen, my roommate, also a bass player, suggested that I search out an EB-O for the music I was playing at the time. I had been borrowing one if his P-basses. It took awhile but I finally found one in pieces and the finish stripped. Another buddy put it back together and finished it in black rather than the SG red. It has the perfect sound for the proto-punk stuff we were doing in Death (the Milwaukee version) in the early 1970s. Just a flat out loud sound and extremely easy to play! Just getting back into music and this is my go to instrument to get my fingers retrained!
I am just getting back into music and wanted to add another bass to my collection. I haven't spent a lot of time with this yet but it feels right and it sounds great. A great value!
This came highly recommended by a bass playing friend of mine. Considering that I have always used an Acoustic 150b in the past, I wasn't really aware of the cool new lightweight gear like this. Sounds great, perfect for solo practice and small space jamming...and is perfect to use without disturbing others with headphones. Pretty decent price point too.
Big resonant sound when you want it...intimate feel and touch when you need that. I picked up a used on e in 1970 and have never looked back. Although I've had a number of electric guitars over the years, I couldn't imagine swapping out this one.
