Epi EB-3: Great Deal!
Quality:
Very well made. The tuners are excellent!
Features:
The sound is great!
Sound:
The neck pickup sounds HUGE. The bridge pickup needed to be raised a lot, since it does not have much output and sounds thin.
Playability and Feel:
The neck is heavy, but that's it.
Tone:
Neck: Thick and dark (with tone control down), very high output.
Bridge: Thin and bright, low output.

Quality:
Made like Epiphone before Gibson bought the company.
Features:
Recreates the controls and finish of the original unlike the Gibson SG Reissue.
Sound:
As stated, the possibilities are endless with this instrument.
Playability and Feel:
A dream compared to a Fender. The controls let you create the sound of any bass out today.
Tone:
As with most bass humbuckers, a compressor can clean up any muddiness, but not lose that thunder.
Finish:
Flawless as always.
Action:
A little high, but easily adjusted.

Subject:
Own the original; this is great
Quality:
Very well made. I can't find any flaws.
Features:
It plays VERY well, and I own a '62 EB0. I've kept it in great shape, and this thing outplays it, no lie.
Sound:
It's a EB3. It's certainly darker than average, but that mini-humbucker is wonderful. You'll get warm, fat tones out of it with just enough top end to make it useful.
Playability and Feel:
It's much lighter than the '62, and the neck is super comfortable. I will be (and recommend) installing a thumb rest in bewteen the pickups.
Tone:
Warm, articulate, yummy.
Finish:
The finish was awesome. Kudos to the guys and gals in China.
Action:
It needed a little adjustment, but every new instrument should.

Quality:
very well made, tough finish
Features:
i would say the best feature of this guitar is the 1.65" neck. i have short fingers for a bassist and this beauty fits my fret hand perfect.
Sound:
decent, i reccomend using pedals to get the perfect tone from it.
Playability and Feel:
a very fast and sleek feel. easy to slide up and down the neck. pretty good sustain also. the two tone and two volume with a 3 way selector make it easy to get the right tone
Tone:
deep and dirty to thin and trebly. put thicker strings on to get more ooomph!
Finish:
great looking ebony
Action:
way too low to play drop d
