BTW, I hated the EB-0 and owned it for less than 6 months (more like 3 IIRC).

Don't have pics yet but The Lovely Lady just purchased my Christmas pressie early.

A single owner 1971 Gibson EB-3L in Walnut. It arrives Friday. Will post a pic then.

I owned brand new one in 1971 and sometime in 1972 or 1973 it was traded up for my (then) Rick 4003 bass.

Upon it's arrival I will now be in possession of every bass (sans the fist $29 jobbie and a very brief EB-0) that I have ever owned form 1968 up to 1977 (P-Bass, EB-3, Rick 4003 and the Alembic Series I), plus now a few extras: Kala Uke, Hofner Ignition, Fender Squier Fretless Jazz, Custom 5 String and Line 6 Variax Bass.

For all practical purposes I have all the basses I'll ever need.
(ya?)

You played bass on a jobbie? That must have sounded pretty crappy.

Did you ever record with it?

Cuz if you did then you can tell everyone you made a no.2 record.

for what it's worth, the best 335 type guitar I've ever owned was a Yamaha SA-2000.

Here's Tommy Tedesco's Yamaha SA-2000 up for auction .

Kenny- I love ES 335's and one has been on my bucket list for many years. The closest I have come is this one purchase on my 50th birthday, 7 years ago. I dropped a Classic 57+ in the bridge and a Classic 57 in the neck. It sounds absolutely awesome and gets played nearly as much as the LP. It's on many of my song in the Songs Forum. The only thing I don't care for is the ugly Epi head stock. I'm just not a fan of that particular head stock.

Hi Mike ,

Your Epiphone looks very nice . Has a nice book ended veneer flamed Maple Top ...
I bet she sounds real good .
The pick up mods you did must have brought the sound much closer to over the top of the ball park tones .

I have the same style head stock on my SG ...
My SG is the exact same model and color as this stock photo.

I played an Epiphone Joe Pass for years ...Loved it and gave it to a friend ...Loved the Epi head stock on that one .
I think the plain Epi head stock that's on you guitar and my guitar look OK .. even though they are not the best looking fit ..
I don't mind that head stock on some of the other Epiphone guitars also ( like the 2 P 90 models and Juniors )
When I see that head stock on some of the Epi Les Paul Standard type of models guitars they have out that are one Tier lower than the Customs I have more of a concern ..

nice talking with you ,
