I am actually planning to buy this instrument but still looking for reviews on which kind of guitar is the best. I hope to hear reviews from you.

I know i'll never find a original replacement but I might be able to get one made if I had a template. I was hoping someone that has one might be able to help me out and trace the pick guard so I can use It as template. Can you help? If you can please contact me at Brian-mckeen@comcast.net.

I plan to share my results online to help others in search of that vintage sound. I hope that you are able to play your bass frequently with your condition. I have a friend an fellow coworker who is paraplegic due to a motorcycle accident. He was hit from behind while waiting on a traffic light to turn green. <BR/>Anyway, if you happen to be able to get a sound clip I'd sure enjoy hearing you play your EB-1. If I can ever be of help let me know.

I tried to trace the circuitry to the best of my ability but as I am not trained in electronics, I offer no guarantees. If the circuit fails to work get back to me and we can troubleshoot it.<BR/>As for a sound bite of the bass - I currently don't have coupler which can join my 1/4" (6.5mm) guitar cord plug to the 1/8" (3.5mm) computer jack. I'll see what I can come up with sometime in the near future - record with audacity and convert to MP3 but I don't think Blogger supports posting audio files.<BR/>I wish I could be of more help but if you read my introductory posting you'll know that an injury has put me into a wheelchair and unfortunately those wheels remain strapped to my ass at this time. Limits what I can do.<BR/>Cheers, YuriYurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711763900793650167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308976014703975516.post-46240686131393713432009-02-20T18:30:00.000-05:002009-02-20T18:30:00.000-05:00Yuri, thanks a million for the schematic and pictu...Yuri, thanks a million for the schematic and picture. I will wire my Epi EB-1 that way when I install the Gibso pickup. By the way, is there any chance you might be able to post a sound clip of your EB-1? Direct from the bass to your PC would be OK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308976014703975516.post-88194100213469649172009-02-15T21:20:00.000-05:002009-02-15T21:20:00.000-05:00I'll see what I can do in the next few days about ...I'll see what I can do in the next few days about getting the schematics posted here.<BR/>YuriYurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711763900793650167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308976014703975516.post-79768725564718004872009-02-15T08:27:00.000-05:002009-02-15T08:27:00.000-05:00Great Bass!

However, I am modifying it and am in the process of installing the single coil pickup from an EB such as yours, which is supposed to be the reason why Jack's bass sounded so good in the Cream reunion. Would it be possible for you to sketch me a wiring diagram of your bass including the resistance of the pots and the value of any capaciters? I know its a lot to aske to go messing around with a vintage bass. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
