Sporting a dual pickup configuration for added versatility, the Epiphone EB-3 packs a serious wallop of bass tone. Like the rest of the classic EB series of basses, the EB-3 is characterized by the rich sustain created by set mahogany neck and solid SG-style body. With vintage finishes and sleek trapezoidal inlays, the Epiphone EB-3 has a classic look to match its unmistakable tone. A mainstay of classic rock and grunge, the EB-3 is a great value in a rockin' electric bass.

Unique Pickup Configuration

Over the EB-0, the EB-3 includes a longer scale and an added mini-humbucker pickup at the bridge. The longer body deepens the tone, while the extra pickup adds bold mids and highs to the low-end growl of the sidewinder neck pickup. To take complete control over the expanded sonic landscape, Epiphone has included a three-way transformer which adjusts the output frequency response. Combined with the independent volume and tone controls of each pickup, the EB-3 provides a huge range of tonal options.

Features:

- Dual pickup configuration with sidewinder at the neck and mini-humbucker at the bridge
- Three-position transformer to adjust frequency response and craft the perfect tone
- Nickle hardware with fully adjustable bridge
- 34-inch scale neck for added sustain and range
- Mahogany neck and body with rosewood fretboard
- Epiphone limited lifetime warranty with 24/7/365 customer service

Take your bass tone to the next level with an Epiphone EB-3. A classic design with expanded features, the EB-3 is a rock n' roll powerhouse. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Epiphone products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (33 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This Bass Rocks and anything else you want it to do!"
Sound: Rich and Deep bottom tones in the mid tone range it really cuts. No lose of head room over the guitars. Feature: Two volumne comtrols and two tone controls and with the humbuckers you could get any blend you want. Ease of Use: It easy to dial in just the right tone for any style of song your playing. Quality: Very well build solid. it is a little top heavy but with a 3" strap it stays put. Value: $300.00 for a bass that should retail for around $700.00 Great Value!!! Manufacturer Support: Had to get saddles for my EB-0 that I got at a second hand store. I e-mail Epiphone and they got back to my with a dealer in my area the next day. Very fast reply. The Wow Factor: I have both the black and the red finish. And I get Wow's on both of them. the Black look really good with the chrome hardware for some reason it draws in the girls. (???) Overall: I've been playing Bass for 41 years and have had alot of brands. I am so happy with the Epiphone EB-3 and EB-0 that this will be the last basses I will every buy. Thanks you Epiphone wish I had played you soomer!!!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
