evilLordJuju Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I have a 1970 Gibson EB3L bass for sale. This is one of the very earliest longscale EB3s produced; WITHOUT the made in USA, so produced in late 1969/early 1970 This is a players grade bass that I have restored. It sounds absolutely beautiful and plays very nicely, though there are some cosmetic issues. See below. I am looking for trades with other vintage gear, or offers around £1000. [b]The good[/b] sounds amazing unbroken headstock original finish on the neck, serial number intact rarer long scale version all original early 70s EB3 parts (except cavity cover and probably a few screws) [b]The bad[/b] at some point this has had damage at the heel area that has been repaired - the body has been refinned/oversprayed to some extent - neck finish is original. This must have been some time back as there are plenty of dings, scartches and knocks... (a couple deep scratches on back - see pics) the logo is damaged (see pics) the mute is missing the 'lift up bar' - I didn't bother finding a replacement as noone ever uses the mutes. The rest of the mute is still there the truss rod cover on this bass is NOT included, I should have swapped it over before photographing but forgot. one tone knob is damaged (see pics) no case (these fit in Epiphone EBO/EB3 cases by the way) strap button moved to top horn This is a phenominal sounding bass, I assure you (unless you are a gibson hater) you'll love this. It will need restringing. Currently has flats on, but not all from a matching set Edited December 11, 2012 by evilLordJuju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilLordJuju Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Sorry should say about trades - I am interested in any guitars, or basses older than 1980 Alos, I have a Kalamazoo KB bass up for trade at the moment which could also be part of a deal...
