Up for sale is a stunning, highly authentic 1968 Gibson EB-2 Semi-Hollowbody Bass in a beautiful, rich burst finish. If you are looking for that deep, warm, legendary thud or dramatic midrange heard on countless classic records from the late '60s and '70s, this is the real deal.


Plug this into a tube amp, and it sounds exactly like you’ve always hoped it would—pure, resonant character that modern basses simply cannot replicate.

🔧 Key Features & Specs:

• 100% Original: 1968 Gibson EB-2 hardware, electronics, and construction.

• Neck & Playability: Features a narrow, incredibly comfortable, easy-to-play neck. The frets are in great shape with plenty of life left.

• The Sound: Phenomenal, deep, punchy low-end or a beautiful midrange tone full of vintage mojo.

• Original String Mute Bridge: Functions perfectly to give you that classic, dampened Motown-style thud.

• Baritone Switch: Fully operational! Gives you instant tonal versatility (occasionally benefits from a quick shot of DeoxIt to stay perfectly clean).

• Strings: Currently setup and sounding incredibly strong with premium La Bella Deep Talkin' Bass Flatwounds.

🔍 Condition & History:

This is a true player’s instrument with a gorgeous vintage patina. It features a minor, honest battle scar—a nickel-sized shallow dent on the lower horn—which only adds to its timeless mojo.

🧳 What’s Included:

• 1968 Gibson EB-2 Bass

• Period-Correct Vintage Case: An aftermarket, well-worn hardshell case that matches the era perfectly and protects the instrument beautifully.


Ready for its next chapter. Whether you are a gigging musician looking for a standout stage instrument, a studio producer looking for the ultimate character tracking tool, or a vintage collector, this EB-2 will not disappoint.

Will be packed carefully and shipped with proper insurance to make sure it stays exactly as it is now.
