Fresh off what appears to be either a rock show or an ice fishing excursion, Regina Zernay of Cowboy Mouth introduces us to her bass, a Gibson SG Reissue. Regina tells us how she decided on this bass and how she decided to use it.
Back in the day, this bass was called the Gibson EB3, NOT the SG bass. It had 2 pickups. The one pickup version was the EB0. I had one when I played w/ cowboy mouth from 1991 thru 1995.. It was a 1965 EB0. It drove the soundman crazy, because it didn't have a pickup at the bridge, just the humbucker at the neck... it had no highs. it always sounded muddy, even w/ new strings. But it looked good! I mostly used an old fender precision, live, and on the first three 'mouth' CDs. It sounded better.
What is this? A joke? She is an excellent player. I just don't get it.

A great technical bassist. I love her simple approach. Regina proves that you don't have to be too flashy, or modify your gear a ton to rock.

Yep, you can use normal scale strings, you just need to cut them down a bit more than you would with a 34 or 35" scale neck.
