    I think the "Banned For Life" Button should come back in a huge way right now!

    At the rate you are going, will you ever find the kind of affirmation that is going to finally satisfy this question?

    sorry

    didnt mean to come off as a spammer

    those three threads were different though but around the same kinda subject

    i was wondering whether or not the two were different, when i got the impression they were i asked if i could acheive the same sound on both and i also asked on a different thread who owned what

    didn't mean to come off as a spammer, sorry if i did, wont happen again

    also

    i thought about it and they DO have the SAME PICKUP just a different preamp and i do believe it is completely possible to get all the 2eqs sounds on the three, the other way around though...

    If it helps, I'm also a big fan of Kim Deal. And a three band SR4 nails her tone perfectly. You've just got to use a pick, keep the eq flat with a little bass boost.

    Not to be a stick in the mud but if you already purchased the 3eq isn't it kind of a moot point?

    Have not heard the 2eq but I have a 3eq and it sounds great. Anyway, best of luck and you can't go wrong with a EBMM!!!

    i know it sounds good i tried it out before, never had enough time to get the eqs set up and i know what that thing is capable of and it has allways been my favorite bass so i saved up money and bought it!

    I'm sure you will be very happy with it. I was a little nervous when I got the 3eq SR4 but I am real glad that I did, it is a great bass

    Best of luck and wishes.
