I had an Epiphone EB-3 bass as seen in one of those pics on the last page. I sold it. I mean it's a SG body on bass. It sucked. It had horrible neck dive because the neck is heavier than the body and i hear the SG is the same way. You need a good strap. For the bass id have needed a weighed strap actually. If you didn't hold it, the neck would hit the floor. But that wasn't my only issue with it.

I'm sure the SG is a fine sounding guiter otherwise as can be obviously heard on many records... but yeah, unbalancedtoo apparently.

I used to be into Gibson basses look wise then i learned that basically, neck dive is a thing with the vast majority of their basses and a few of their guitars. It's like a defining feature of a gibson i guess...
