1973 Gibson EB-4L (Long Scale) Bass – Natural Finish – Vintage SG-Style

Beschreibung:
Zum Verkauf steht ein seltener Gibson EB-4L aus dem Jahr 1973 in der begehrten Long-Scale-Ausführung. Die Datierung wird durch die CTS-Potis (1973) und die Seriennummer 89156X untermauert. Im Gegensatz zur Standardversion bietet dieser Bass eine Mensur von ca. 87 cm (34,5"), was für mehr Saitenspannung und Definition sorgt.

Zustand:
Der Bass befindet sich in einem ehrlichen Natural-Finish, das die Mahagoni-Maserung wunderschön zur Geltung bringt. Er hat moderate Vintage-Spielspuren, darunter ein Ding am Hals und die zeittypischen, oberflächlichen Lackrisse am Halsübergang (keine Brüche!). Die Elektrik ist original mit dem 3-Weg-Schalter für den Super Humbucker von Bill Lawrence. Die Potis laufen sauber, der Schalter arbeitet zuverlässig.

Specs:

  • Baujahr: 1973 (Seriennummer 89156X)
  • Farbe: Natural
  • Hals/Korpus: Mahagoni, V-Profil
  • Mensur: Long Scale (87 cm / 34,5")
  • Gewicht: ca. 3,75 kg (angenehm leicht!)
  • Zubehör: Vintage-Formkoffer (nicht original Gibson), größere Tolex-Fehlstelle am unteren Boden im Bereich der Zarge.

Ein charakterstarker Player mit dem legendären Gibson-Schub!

1973 Gibson EB-4L (Long Scale) Bass – Natural Finish – Lightweight Vintage SGDescription:
Offered here is a rare 1973 Gibson EB-4L in the sought-after Long Scale version. This bass features a 34.5" (87 cm) scale length, providing significantly more clarity and punch than the short-scale variant. Dated by its 1973 CTS pots and serial number 89156X.

Condition:
Finished in beautiful Natural, the mahogany grain is highly visible. The bass shows moderate signs of use consistent with its age, including one ding on the neck and typical hairline finish checking at the neck joint (purely cosmetic, no structural breaks). The electronics are original including slide switch for the massive neck humbucker of Bill Lawrence. Pots are smooth and quiet.

  • Year: 1973 (Serial #89156X)
  • Finish: Natural
  • Body/Neck: Mahogany
  • Scale Length: 34.5" (Long Scale), Neckprofile V-Style
  • Weight: approx. 3.75 kg (8.2 lbs) – very comfortable for a long scale!
