Gibson 1971 EB-3 w/ embossed covers (RARE) refin changed parts
This 1971 Gibson EB-3 is a rare bird featuring original embossed pickup covers—a short-lived detail from the early '70s that collectors prize. This example has undergone a refin and has had several parts changed, making it a player's dream rather than a museum piece. The EB-3 is known for its thunderous low-end and warm, muddy tone, thanks to its large neck-position humbucker paired with a mini humbucker at the bridge. With a short 30.5" scale, dual volume and tone controls, and a 4-position rotary switch for versatile tone shaping, this bass remains a powerful tool for vintage tone lovers.
