  • @skrullama

    use whatever you like and don't tell otherswhat to do.tell that to geezer butler

  • do you recommend this to a guy who have played bass for a year ? :)

  • @MrTomihuet

    sure

  • is yours a gibson or epiphone?

  • How much would a gibson sg bass go for? Im looking to sell mine.

  • @HornadyHunter

    sorry,no idea there

  • @HornadyHunter A faded Gibson EB-3 (the long scale version with two pick-ups) goes for about $800 new on Musician's Friend.

  • @HornadyHunter depends what year it is...stuff from the 60's 70s can go for $1000's. Newer ones can go for as little as $300

  • sabbath n.i.b sweet

    

  • what was the song you played at 1:27

  • I was going to get this but it's a bit dark for the alt rock/pop punk i play. Excellent guitar though and looks freakin' awesome.

  • Nice playing, got the riff on that one. Geezer would be proud.

    Rock on..

  • ive got that bass now to but what music is this

    

  • what song are you playing

  • song??

    

  • black sabbath forever

  • What kind of bass amp do you use?

  • @BikerBoySpeir

    Its just a fender rumble 100

  • Im not sure, but the beat sounds like something I've heard before...Dont know which band or song. Or even if its just a made bass riff, it sounds familiar...

  • just bought it i decided to teach myself bass. i play guitar lol

  • I dunno.. it doesnt have that... WARM bass sound...

  • I went on my mates SG bass. I think the action needs raising a little bit cus you can hear a bit of buzz

  • i'm interested buying one but man is it on black??

  • its a great bass for beginners as well as real veterans like myself. i love mine fondly. i have the 76' model but its still kickin

  • Wow, NIB, Haven't heard this song for quite a while

  • Sabbath ftw

  • id kill for that bass, but my friend thinks its crap because apparently the sg is only supposed to be a guitar...

  • Gibson makes an SG bass and has been since the 60's

  • my bro got it at $375 in black, and its normally around $800+

  • actually the epiphone model is usually around 200$ - 250$ i got mine off a friend for 150$

  • @angryretardcereal

    Yea,I think around $200 new

  • @angryretardcereal thats cheap 0.o lol i need one 2 ^^

  • @angryretardcereal thats cheap 0.o lol i need one 2 ^^

  • I prefer the EB-3 it has 2 pick-ups which you can turn on and off.

  • @1PaulVerhoeven1 yeah the EB-3 is much more versatile and it's a full scale. that's what i play and i love it

  • NIB ftw!

  • ACDC SQUELER!!

  • BLACK SABBATH!! XD NIB

  • Nice .D 5*

  • Im saving up for a epiphone sg bass,

    your great :D

  • Comment removed

  • Where can I find this bass, and how much ?

  • Bunch of places sell it,musicians friend,guitar center.Not sure how much.

    Google it

    epiphone EB-O bass

  • its £170

  • I had this bass for a few weeks but had to return it for financial reasons. This bass rules. I'm buying another one. It's so easy to play, I can rip on this thing.

  • i got that same bass today

  • someone here can help me im very short 5ft4 and i want i good short scale bass can someone can help me to find one?

  • money by pink floyd at 1:30 for people who didnt know

    i love pink floyd!

  • pink floyd is the best....wearing a concert shirt from like 92 right now!

  • The bassist in my band has got a gibson SG bass and it is really bad ... Get a Fender Jazz bass , they are amazing !!

  • :L i've got a fender jazz and i'm just about to get a gibson sg bass, i love them both. their too different to compare i'd say. thats what i like about the gibson, an absolutely different sound

  • ur right. i got a fender jazz. there awsome

  • that is bullshit. gibson sg basses are amazing, i wish they were still made. esp and epiphone both make copies. the epiphone is just as good as the gibson one.

  • i want to get an Epiphone SG bass but wnish one is better EB-0 or EB-3??

  • i'd go eb-3, it has two pick-ups and the eb-o just looks empty missing that bottom one, it's like a face without a mouth kinda :L and the eb-3's are usually on a smaller scale, makes alot of things easier

  • eb-3 more sounds

  • im guessing eb3, set neck, 2 vol 2 tone and a pikcup selector, 2 pickups and also its all mahogany

  • which song he played first ?

  • n.i.b. by black sabbath

  • THat riff u start playing around 1:30 is pretty awesome.

  • Was that Squealer by AC/DC from around 1:00 to 1:15?

  • sounds like it :)

    i'd say yes

  • Hey, was this a $200 dollar bass???

    If so im thinking of getting it, is it good?

  • for the money, yes. quality guitar, decent humbicks.

  • i have the sg bass too is really awsome

  • get a 6 string guitar for real wake up that has no what do i call tune its dull!

  • Ok.Thanks alot.

    great comment.

    Have a good one!

  • less 6 string masturbation, more low-end domination!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So, that´s a great musical ear you´ve got...You´re a "skilled professional" to say such a ridiculous thing, that´s for sure...¬¬

  • @ladieshunk217

    We'll play guitar when you grow a pair.

  • this is White Room by Cream right?

  • No, it's NIB by Black Sabbath

  • its N.I.B.-black sabbath, dude

    but the first four notes are similair to sunshine of your love

  • Hi, where did you got the riff at 1:53 from?

  • To be honest,I am not sure if its something I've heard before in a song someplace or not.just came to my head at the time.

  • Ok...Anyway, was iteresting and quite inspiring to watch. Did you improvise her?

  • Yea,just messing around

  • hey just wondering i heard that the sg bass doesnt sound to good is that true??? my friends say it doenst anyway im a guitar player but maybe also learning bass

  • Comment removed

  • I get this bass in 2007 , I was very impressed by his sound , and now I will buy epiphone for ever ...

  • i love you your bass

  • the begining sounded like N.I.B from black sabbath

  • pretty good the pick up even look's like a sg pick up lmao

  • what song is that at the beginning? please reply

  • N.I.B. from Black Sabbath.Its probably not entirely correct tho.I never sat down to learn it,just playing from my head

  • It's actually pretty close to the real deal there hehe.

  • you mean the Gibson EBo bass?

    I never see those around at all

  • great playing

  • hey should i get a Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV Bass or an Epiphone EB-3 SG Bass

  • which ever one you like better

  • Thunderbird.

  • EB-3

  • which ever feels good for you!

  • we have the same bass:)

  • maybe i get such one in black :D

  • i got the same bass about a year ago and i dont really like the sound and the fact that it only has one pickup but others may like it

  • I just got one of these yesterday, I wanted a cheap bass, I started with a $100 dean, then tried this one (I wanted the EB-3, but it wasn't in stock and costs $100 more) but I played it and it felt awesome. I thought it would be weird being a short scale, but it's really an awesome bass. I feel like it allows more dexterity and quick movement.

  • Oh and by the way, concerning the pick thing:

    I like the sound of fingerpicking better than the pick sounds, but maybe thats cause im mostly into reggae and old ska stuff. guess it really depends on the sound you wanna get, so just go about play w/e you like...

  • God that sound is brilliant...

    I'm gonna get me one of those asap

  • and Highay Star by Deep Purple around minute 2:13

  • That was GREAT!

  • nice skillz

  • do they have it in all black

  • probably

  • yes they do have it in black. Because i have a black one.

  • hey man i got a ebony EB-3 bass coming in the mail. i wanted to ask u if u think its is good for like intermediate

  • I think so

  • Hey, are you jamming? or what are you playing? :) like the tunes.

  • just random stuff.whatever came to mind

  • He is playing the song N.I.B. by Black Sabbath in the beginning

  • the first song he played was N.I.B by Black Sabbath

  • first oneis NIB from black sabbath

  • do you recomend this bass for a beginer

  • sure

  • Is the EB-3 better? or the EB-0?

  • depends on what you like better I guess

  • Nice bass, but that fret buzz is quite annoying. Good thing it's adjusted ;)

  • man the fret buzz is CRAZY you sick tho if only there was less buzz

  • Yea,this vid was before I had it adjusted,It don't buzz no more.Took a while to adjut the truss rod becasue it was seized.Had to put little penetrating oil on it and let it set,then I was finally able to adjust the fret buzz,and no more fret buzz since.

  • i know thats a bass but it doesnt sound like it

  • lol,I don't care

  • Hey you (BasslsBallin95) Thanks alot

    Take Care

  • That bass sounds horrible, but you sound good though

  • I got rid of the fret buzz since this video. Truss rod was seized and was afraid to try and turn it for quite a while.Finally I put little penetrating oil on it and let it set overnight,and next day was able to adjust it ok.Alot better now

  • okay thanks if u do

  • can you post a video of slap on this bass i would really appreciate it

  • I'm not a bass player by trade,play some but not alot.I could try I guess

  • hey is the amp turned on

    cause it doesnt have a bass sound to it

  • lol

    Yep,amp is on

  • im gonna start learning bass and ill probably get an epiphone like this cos they're SO DAMN CHEAP! guitar shop near me... £179!

  • Sorry, what I meant was: what is the name os the first song you played on that bass?

  • N.I.B.

  • Whats the name of the song?

  • NIB by Black Sabbath

  • trust rod???

  • Yep.Just lossened it maybe half a turn and now fret buzz is totally gone.Took me a while but now I can set up and adjust all my guitars myself.I would not want to mess with a flaoting bridge /whammy bar guitar ,but your standard stop tail piece guitar I got figured out

  • I have the same guitar its great but how did you get rid of fret buzz?!!

  • adjusted the truss rod.Mine was seized when I got it but put little drop or 2 or penetrating oil on it and let sit overnight.Then it turned freely.

  • youve tried eb0 too right? does this one as neck heavy as the eb0? I love that short scale feel cuz I play bass and do lead vocals in by band, it was just too heavy to play shoes with. I wanted to pick one of these up but was too unsure so went for an epi tbird. still very interested though

  • Yes,I tried the eb3 and this bass eb0 the same day.I liked the feel and believe or not,I actually preferred the tone on the EB-O over the EB3.So I picked this one up.I had to do alot of messing to finally get it set up nice to be free of fret buzz.This video is before I got it set up nice.Now that I got it set up nice,it plays beatiful and sounds great.Its really a great deal for the price.I think this EB-O is little less neck heavy than the EB3.

  • Your really good awesome bass!

  • Sounds Great!! 5/5

    i'm gonna get an epiphone bass.. which one better, eb-0 or eb-3?

  • Good question,and I think thats basically just personal preference. I tried both of them out the day I bout the eb-o and bought the eb-o ,not because is was little less money ,but because I liked the way it felt and played better.The eb-3 has the longer scal neck,but also has an additional pickup.I'd say try both out,see what you like better.You might like one better than the other for your own reasons.

  • aw man i have an eb-0 but i cant get that kind of sound out of it

  • what amp are you using?

  • i just orderd a eb-0. but i was a little insecure aboutthe sound but when i hear this i just want it right away=) sounds great! and nice playing! and its just fine to use a pick, im playing in a band and i too use a pick! rock on!

  • Thanks

    Yea,it sounds nice

    I adjusted it since this vid.Got rid of the fret buzz.I too like a pick.I believe in playing whatever you like the way you like it regardless of what the norm is or others think

  • I use a jazz dunlop I pick on extra light strings 40-95.I love the percussive Fender VI feel to the sound.Sounds great!

  • You know I really don't mind the percusive sound you mention either.Alot of people say do not use a pick on a bass,but I'm mainly a guitar player and thats what I am used to and I think it sounds fine

  • Very good song choices for the bass! NIB sounded great! Money was pretty good too, never thought it would go so well on an EB-0. The other songs I know that I know them, but it's not coming back lol

    But it all sounded great! Keep rockin my fellow bassist!

  • SQEALER!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wat kinda amp are u using?

  • Fender Rumble 100

  • oh and what all songs did you play on that?

  • suggestion dont use a pick and adjust your action

  • I did adjust my action since this.I like to use a pick

  • nib

  • trial and error and lots of patience.Igot it better since this vid.Took awhile of adjusting ,but its better now

  • HIGHWAY STAR!

  • NIB!

  • What song is that your playing!!! I get it stuck in my head but I cant figure it out!!!

  • also dude good playing i dont got a sg bass not yet i got a silvertone pretty good but id like a epiphone esp bass but im just starting out so my silvertone will do and your sg bass looks alot like a gibson version and what kind of amp your using how much???

  • tried that bass and didnt like it

    waaaaaayyyyyyyy to buzzy

    if you are going to get a bass make sure its a gibson

  • Probably needed to be set up to get rid of fret buzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • how much that cost 200 250

  • I think closer to the $200 range

  • i want that bass <:(

  • go buy one then

  • i live in brazil where the prices for bass and guitars ARE EXAGERATED.. a mark hoppus signature bass costs 250$ worldwide.. in brazil it costs 1000$

    see the difference? and i have a bass but i want THAT ONE

  • Cliffblitz,here at Brazil this bass isn't 1000 Dollars,it's 1200 Reais max(1 dollar=1,70 Reais)

  • N.I.B by black sabbath

  • I have the same one, only in black. It looks as cool as this one, and as it's from a Gibson division (epiphone) i guess it's really worth it, at least for a begginer like me.

    Sounds really authentic by the way
