About This Listing

1968 Gibson EB-2 Semi-Hollow Bass. Shows some wear for its age, finish has lacquer checking and as well some wear and dings on the back of the neck. See photos for examples of wear and condition.

Product Overview
Similar to the ES-335, the Gibson EB-2 was a semi-hollow bass with that classic Gibson shape. A single humbucker on the neck and a shorter scale length identify the EB-2 and set it apart from the likes of the EB-2D, which was released in '66 sporting two neck pickups. The EB-2's tone and style attracted notable bassists like Chas Chandler of the Animals and John Entwistle.
