Gibson's EB-3 bass guitar was released in 1961 and was produced through 1979, sporting the familiar sharp double-cutaway solid body similar to the SG. As an upgrade to the EB-0, which also makes the EB-3 a more desirable collectors' piece, the EB-3 sports dual humbuckers on its solid mahogany body with a metal cover over the bridge pickup and a 4-position rotary tone switch. The Gibson EB-3 has been played by the likes of Jack Bruce and Bill Wyman.
