Mick Hawksworth The Gibson RD Artist - what a tool; a truly magnificent bass. If you couldn't get the sound you wanted out of one of these, then you should have been an accountant.		Ralphe Armstrong The RD Artist, that was a great bass. It was a whole lot of wood and a whole lot of sound! It had a hell of a sound. I had a mahogany fretless RD too, with an ebony fingerboard!
Justin Meldal-Johnsen I saw an RD Artist at a shop in LA years ago and was blown away by how it looked		Bob Daisley For a Gibson EB-3 you really need a Marshall stack you know for the best match for sound
Mike Watt There's something about mahogany, there's a warm roundness, maybe not as much definition as a maple neck... there's a character I get from my Thunderbird and EB-3s		Martin Turner you play the Rickenbacker bass and it’s like making love to a girl, you get hold of that thing, the Thunderbird, it’s like making love to a woman, you’ve got to get hold of it by the scruff of the neck.....
Warren Haynes on Allen Woody and Gov't Mule. ... He liked all the EB's, he collected EB's, he had EBO, EB1, EB2, EB3 and he used them all in recording especially in the context of Gov't Mule		Andy Hess I've definitely got to really love my EB-O - it works for certain songs perfectly
Suzi Quatro ... who needs a sliding pick up?		Julian Cope ... no bass could approach that sound
Glenn Cornick Late in 1970 after about a year of searching, I bought my original reverse T Bird single pickup. I loved everything about it ...		Andy Fraser I was immediately at home with the EB3. First, it is small, as am I, so it was a perfect fit. It had extra frets up top, and you could never have enough extra frets for me, and with the extra pickup, one could get a wide variety of tones
