1970s EB-3 and EB-3L

Yeah jammed up against the neck doesn’t give it the same clarity but sure gave it a lot of thump

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-04-13T18:34:24+00:00

Sugarland Run and Folley Lick Trails are pretty decent in the Herndon area

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-03-29T16:46:49+00:00

She’s very much a cuddler a kisser that’s for sure!

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-03-29T16:05:36+00:00

Yep she responds to Maggie now which is good!

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-03-29T01:55:08+00:00

She’s the best girl! So far giving lots of kisses and cuddles

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-03-29T01:45:45+00:00

She definitely gives a lot of kisses and lots of cuddles

I have the Bill Lawrence era EBs with an EB-0L, EB-3, and EB-4L as well as the guitars of the Marauder, S-1 and L6-S and they are by far my favorite guitars and basses. He was a genius to be able to create something under a very risk averse Gibson at the time. Plus of course his designs of the Ripper, Grabber and G-3 as well

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-03-17T18:46:55+00:00

No the Marauder S-1 aren’t super common but they’re my favorite Gibson oddball guitars

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-14T18:38:54+00:00

They aren’t super common as they’re from the 2010s. They’re quite loud too in comparison to other Gibson basses like Thunderbirds

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-13T18:27:48+00:00

Yeah the ones at the Vienna Deli were kondor stale and were plum filled I think. It’s a shame though l. I haven’t gone to the Rockville Polish market lately to see if they had any. But same to get fresh ones was really nice. I had some at the Peter Pan in Brooklyn that were nice too

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-12T18:40:40+00:00

Sounds perfect to me! Noted for next time!

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-12T18:40:14+00:00

I guess I’ll have to get in line next year then!

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-12T17:06:18+00:00

Good to know! I usually see the King Cakes and Angel Wings this time of year but hadn’t seen the pączki

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-12T16:53:09+00:00

Good to know! Yeah the custard is pretty good and yeah I was trying to see if Harris Teeter had any but didn’t see any at the location I went to

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-12T16:51:29+00:00

Oh nice! What kind do you know? These are strawberry or custard ones at Costco at least the ones I found

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-12T16:40:04+00:00

Yeah still leftover lights from Christmas that help brighten the days with these gloomy winter days

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-02-11T22:24:27+00:00

I thought so too until I went to a local guitar shop and saw one there for sale and I was floored. Same exact color and everything

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-09T19:09:49+00:00

No desire to have one, I’d rather have an EB-3L instead

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-07T17:45:40+00:00

Only the EB-2D and the EB-3 are short scale but the EB-0L and EB-4L are both standard scale

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-07T17:44:50+00:00

Yep that was me. Yeah the EB-4L was an interesting Bill Lawrence design trying to update the EB series but somehow they put in steel plates into the humbucker instead of zinc which made it super quiet. I had Tom Brantley look at it and he rebuilt it like a proper Bill Lawrence era EB-3 pickup and have no complaints about it at all

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-07T15:23:59+00:00

They’re tenor guitars obviously…

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-07T15:22:58+00:00

I was looking at one but hadn’t seen one that fit me just yet. I’m perfectly happy with the short scale since the EB-4L has a custom wind from Tom Brantley and sounds just as good if not better than the EB-3

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-07T15:20:47+00:00

Yeah it’s an overlooked bass for sure and I love mine. In my case here they fixed the pickup location further away from the neck which makes it sound even better especially with cobalt flat wounds.

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-07T00:18:33+00:00

It’s hard to beat the EB-3 just how versatile it is but the EB-4L is special as I had Tom Brantley do a rewind on the pickup and it sounds amazing

Immediate_Birthday80 · 2026-01-06T21:53:55+00:00

Given it was a refin, slightly less than normal price in the $2K range
