Epiphone EB-3 Electric 4-String Bass - Used
The Epiphone EB-3 is a faithful recreation of the classic "SG" style bass that defined the low end for rock legends in the 1960s. Featuring a long 34-inch scale length, this bass offers more tension and clarity than its short-scale predecessors, making it a versatile choice for modern players who still want that vintage thump. The mahogany body and neck provide a deep, resonant foundation, finished in a classic Cherry Red that shows off the wood grain.
This instrument is in good used condition, showing honest signs of cosmetic play wear across the body. It has been professionally inspected and set up in our shop, ensuring it is ready to rock with comfortable action and solid intonation. Weighing in at 9 lbs 5 oz, it has the substantial feel of a professional-grade instrument and balances well on a strap.
The EB-3 is famous for its unique pickup configuration: a massive Sidewinder humbucker in the neck position for thick, creamy lows, paired with a mini-humbucker at the bridge for added bite and definition. Controlled by a 4-position rotary switch, this bass offers a surprisingly wide array of tonal textures, from smooth jazz to aggressive rock growl.
