MGR/Chris Haggerty « Epiphone EB-5 5 String Bass »
Published on 06/17/03 at 15:00I got the Epiphone EB5 from Musician's Friend online. They called it the EB3 5-string, but the real name is the EB5. I got it for $249. I wanted to step up a notch in my bass playing area by buying a 5-string bass. I wanted to be able to play different styles such as metal.
This bass sounds great. The neck isn't too wide and it has a very comfortable feel, just as the SG guitars.
Everything is fine about the bass except the weight and placement of one of the strap pins. The bass is a little heavy, being that it is made of almost full mohagony. The strap pin on the back of the bass is inconvenient. Since it is there, the bass turns (neck going down to the ground) when you do not hold the neck.
The bass is very strong. The quality is great. It has 2 dual rail pickups.
Overall the bass is great. I love the bass and play it everyday. With a good amp (and pedals if you use them) this is one of the best sounding basses I have ever played.
