In the early days Gibson and
Epiphone were competing with each other on every level. Problems
began to arise when Epiphone lost one of it's greatest assets
to leukemia. The company started towards a steady decline
and was soon in trouble.
A deal was made. Gibson bought
Epiphone in 1957 for the sum of $20,000. Gibson only needed
one thing at the time and that was a great line of Bass guitars
and Epiphone had exactly what was needed. They were known
for creating excellent bass guitars at a price most people
could afford and at the time that was Gibson's only weakness
against it's only real rival Fender!
Today one of the most popular
basses available is the Epiphone EB-3. It has the classic
SG body that Angus Young from AC/DC has made so popular. I
know he did not play bass but his guitar of choice was an
SG and they adopted that body style to this bass. It features
a mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard that your fingers
will fall in love with. These basses have such a great tone
and the sustain can not be beaten by any other basses in it's
price range. |
