Gibson EB3
FlyGuitars So what came next?
Glenn Cornick Second was the 1969 EB3 Walnut which I bought later on the same tour and was my main instrument for a year or more. It was used on Stand Up:- New Day Yesterday, Back to the Family, We Used to Know, For a Thousand Mothers and for most if not all of which was released on the Living in the Past album. (For my taste the best bass track I have ever played). It had a great sound with both pickups on but the controls were awkward and it wasn't as reliable as I needed. I had to buy an EB2DC as a spare because the EB3 broke down in Texas and it was the only Gibson bass I could find.
FlyGuitars Did you prefer a specific set up with the EB3?
Glenn Cornick I used both pickups and both tones all the way and always the same varitone setting (I don't remember which) and always through Hiwatt 100's and 4x12s with the master volume backed off and the channel volume pushed up to get an edge of distortion. I've still never found a better bass setup. For the music I was playing with Tull, the short scale Gibsons had a fullness of tone that was very suited to the sound of the band and, at the time, I liked the short scale neck ( I thought the later long neck EB3s were a major step backward ).
FlyGuitars What was the nature of the EB3 breakdown?
Glenn Cornick Bad soldering in the factory - the first of several electrical problems. In those days people didn't usually change instruments during a set unless there was a problem. Until my EB3 went out during a set, I never even carried a spare. After that I usually had a P Bass as backup.
Gibson EB2
FlyGuitars What did you think of the EB2?
Glenn Cornick Sorry but it was the worst instrument I have ever owned and the only time it was ever used was to record Witch's Promise (as it was the only bass I could get to at the time). I used it occasionally on TV lip synch shows because it looked pretty good.
