HERE'S A LOVELY VINTAGE (1960 OR 1966 ACCORDING TO GIBSON) EB2-DC BASS GUITAR. SERIAL NUMBER 810446. I BOUGHT THIS AS A PROJECT, SO IT'S NOT 100% ORIGINAL.

IT CAME TO ME WITHOUT FRETS AND 1/4" OF ROSEWOOD GLUED TO THE ORIGINAL ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD. WHICH I REMOVED. I REPLACED THE FRETS WITH JUMBO FRETS. I ALSO REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PEARLOID (PLASTIC) POSITION DOTS WITH REAL MOTHER OF PEARL, SO NOW THEY ARE VISIBLE.

THE PAPER LABEL INSIDE SHOWS THE STYLE NUMBER AS EB2DC, THE C IS FOR THE CHERRY FINISH.

THERE WAS NO HARDWARE ON THIS BASS WHEN I BOUGHT IT, SO EVERYTHING IS NEW EXCEPT THE TUNERS. THEY ARE THE CORRECT VINTAGE TUNERS FOR THIS MODEL. THE PICKUPS ARE FROM JAPAN AND SOUND GREAT! THE POTS ARE CTS. THE JACK IS A SWITCHCRAFT AND THE BARITONE SWITCH IS NOS.

THE BRIDGE PICKUP CAVITY WAS ROUTED OUT FOR AN UNKNOWN PICKUP, SO I USED A FULL SIZED HUMBUCKER THERE.


THE PICKGUARD IS CUSTOM.

THE BRIDGE IS A FULLY ADJUSTABLE GOTOH.

I MADE A NEW NUT OUT OF SOLID BRASS WHICH HELPS WITH THE CLARITY AND LOOKS AWESOME.

I DID NOT REFINISH THE BASS, THE WEAR IS AUTHENTIC AND THE NITROCELLULOSE FINISH HAS HELD UP WELL. REMEMBER, THIS IS A 50 YEAR OLD INSTRUMENT. I DID SAND AND LIGHTLY FINISH THE NECK. IT FEELS AND PLAYS GREAT.

THE SCALE LENGTH IS 30 1/4" AND IT WEIGHS 9LB 3OZ. IT'S NOT A LIGHT INSTRUMENT BUT MOST GIBSONS AREN'T.

IT COMES WITH A VERY NICE CONDITION 4 LATCH LOCKING EPIPHONE FITTED CASE.

SOLD AS IS, NO WARRANTY GIVEN OR IMPLIED. COME AND TRY THIS BASS, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

$2,450 OR BEST REASONABLE OFFER.

BASS IS LOCATED IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO.

THE PHOTOS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
