Offered in this listing is a rather rare GIBSON EB-0F, the legendary short scale bass by Gibson that has the built in Maestro circuit "FUZZTONE" effect.Only 265 were ever built in total back then over a period of 4 years from 1961 to 1965. We believe this to be a 1963 specimen, based on our research with the stamped 6 digit serial number starting with 110XXX.This particular bass has been loved, used and played, and it shows. There are signs of use all over the finish, noteworthy in particular is a noticeable abrasion on the body edge near the pots, as well as a crack on the upper body near the neck. The latter has been there ever since I owned it for more than 15 years now, and it has not changed in shape or form, so whatever the reason, it appears to be stable and does not have any effect on neck position or playability. Please check the numerous pictures posted here.The neck is straight, the frets have plenty of life left and the truss rod is functional, as it was just recently serviced and set up with a set of new d'Addario EXL170 short scale bass strings.As the 2 AA batteries for the active FUZZTONE circuit decided to leak, the battery compartment itself was compromised as a few of the circuit components and wires. As a result the compartment, wires and some components had to be replaced to make it operational again. Most all of the original parts are still with the bass in a small bag. Also replaced, most likely in the 70s or 80s, were the volume and tone pots as the one installed date to the 1970s. The original mudbucker pickup sounds mighty and powerful as to be expected, and the fuzztone option is an interesting feature that certainly makes this vintage bass standout amongst its standard EB-0 peers.The bass comes in the case shown. While we are not 100% certain that this is the one the bass came in originally, it appears to be a period correct case that looks old and somewhat worn but is fully functional with all hinges and clasps intact, just the strap that would hold the lid in position when it is open is missing.The bass is priced according to condition, don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a unique instrument of bass history, one of the 265 total built, and one of only 74 build in 1963 ...
