After five wonderful years, it's time to let someone else have the of satisfaction of owning this much-played, well-loved classic that's about to celebrate its 50th birthday. http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1941264 I'm linking to the original sale thread while I get some of my own photos done, but to be fair they are unlikely to be as good as Jules from Fly Guitars (the original seller). His 2012 post also gives the background history, and as he is the absolute expert on Gibson basses I can only defer to him. I can add that this EB-3L (L for long scale) looks just as it did then, but has since been professionally set up, equipped with suitable flatwounds and has a beautiful fitted case. I have also sourced a replacement knob for the one with a chunk out; the original is also included. If it's mojo you're after, this has the Andy Fraser vibe in spades. It's ultra-light in weight, belying its sheer blues power. Probably gigged it three or four times, otherwise home play only - but the dropping jaws of fellow bass players when they catch sight of it has been worth the purchase price alone! Looking for £1200, no trades thanks.

Bump. This is pitched one octave below guitar rather than two, so can add a different flavour to your uke bass arsenal with partial chords etc - think Bass VI.

Traded.

Bump for new price £110.

Bump!

As I've only had it a few months, I don't know... Plenty of life in the set that's on, though. Did I mention there's a Gigbag?

Cheers Al!

SOLD! Solid spruce-fronted Uke Bass with flatwound metal rather than rubber strings. Bought by me for use as a practice bass while on a fortnight's holiday. Since then it's been gathering dust on its handsome surface, as these sunlit pics show! Ideal for those who don't like the usual thick rubber strings, as it is in effect a travel bass guitar. Yet can be eq'd to sound very double bassy if required. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]2 band EQ on top of body (battery powered). Solid maple back and sides.[/font] Far more solid and substantial than my Countryman, but can't justify having two Uke Basses. This has one scar on the top (visible in photo, invisible when playing) and a small amount of wear under the strings from plucking by the first owner. Also a spot of rust on the D string that doesn't affect playing, as it's above the nut. Retails at £240. Asking £[s]125 [/s]110. Based Bournemouth, would consider posting at cost. Specs follow:[list] [*]Ox bone saddle and nut. 2 way Truss rod [*]With pick-up and EQ [*]Tuned E A D G [*]Nut width: 44mm [*]Width at 12th fret: 56mm [*]Scale length: 515mm [*]Body depth: 80mm [*]Lower bout: 263mm [*]Upper bout: 195mm [*]Waist: 166mm [*]No Frets: 18 [*]Body length: 355mm [*]Overall Instrument lengh: 750mm [*]Weight: 1.70 kg (approx) [*]With Pickup [*]Made in: China [*]Model Number: AU-90B [/list] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/08E6D1BD-DE5A-46F3-AC64-488FB6D1B4C6.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/BF47D3C6-50B3-4390-9387-B7B276E30AA4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/FC36A0DB-5852-4884-9CE3-2C4AD4B4B888.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/C0317802-AFBB-4821-B8F4-E358E9E694F3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/bass/A522817E-F82F-41B2-A243-1BF91B14BF53.jpg.html"][/url]
