Members lug Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Which one sounds the worst? pfft....like anything could sound worse than an EBO. The BDVK bass was originally a shortscale with a Fender humbucker so it came close, but nothing can rival the pure unadultrated thub/crub/mub of the EBO. The indestinctness of the notes are only rivaled by the short short duration that they possess. Both a blessing and a curse, you get the lack of sustain of something like mikgag's lovemaking but the advantage of knowing it will be actually over soon.

Members georgestrings Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've turned over every bass I've owned within the last 4 years, so nothing spectacular for me to add to this thread... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JacieFB Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 2000 EBMM Stingray. I do have one other bass that I've had longer, though. It's that 1995 Kustom Kasino short scale with the oddly bent neck, aka "Clank Bitch". She's downstairs in some unknown case. I'm cool with that being her final resting place.

Members DaveAronow Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 bought it new in 86 or 87. The only thing original is the body. New pups( Seymour Duncan quarter pounders) new bridge( Badass 2), new tuners Schaller with one Hipshot Drop D tuner), new neck (warmoth, heavily birseyed with vintage tint tru-oil finish) new pots knobs electronics(this bass had active EMG's in it for decades), new strap locks, new thumbrest peg, new custom faux cowhide picguard, new bone nut, new Fender customshop decals and Logo. I am getting ready to finally lose the cowhide guard and also put on a maple neck with maple board. Will go back to all back on the guard. This bass has played probably close to 3000 gigs in the past twenty plus years, and has seen action in most cities in almost every state in the country. It has had beer, booze, and every bodily fluid known to man ozzed all over it, it has been used as self defense as a weapon, it has been stolen and recovered, it has been used as a cat scratching post, it has been used as a work bench, and it has worked well with the ladies . This bass has stories o'plenty. I will never sell it. 1986 1994 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kaiser_sosea Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Bad pic but my 2004 Carvin XB75, built to my specs. Love this bass though it rarely gets any love these days with my attention to my Skyline DJ Sonic 4, plays and sounds buttery smooth.
