Up for sale is a classic vintage 1970/1971 Gibson EB-0 short-scale bass in its original Cherry Red finish. This specific era of the EB-0 is highly sought after because of its rare slotted headstock design feature Gibson only produced for a very brief window between late 1969 and late 1971.
Key Features:
Body & Neck: Solid mahogany double-cutaway SG-style body paired with a comfortable mahogany neck. The short 30.5" scale makes it incredibly playable and fast.
Headstock: Rare slotted/split headstock with the "MADE IN U.S.A." stamp and original tuners.
Electronics: Equipped with the legendary Gibson neck-flush humbucker (the "Mudbucker"), delivering that massive, unmistakable low-end thump.
Hardware: Retains the original master volume and tone knobs, front-mounted output jack, and the original metal bridge cover.
Condition: This bass is in great vintage condition, showing authentic playwear, minor dings, and finish wear consistent with a 50+ year-old instrument. The neck is straight, the action is comfortable, and the electronics function perfectly.
Sound: If you want deep, booming, foundational low-end, this is it. It is a fantastic studio tool, a great foundation for any mix, and a lightweight gigging bass with a ton of vintage character.
