brensabre79 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hmm don't think so... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-Vintage-SG-Bass-Guitar-RARE-/321016860500?_trksid=p2047675.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555001%26algo%3DPW.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D125%26meid%3D3294215332216362657%26pid%3D100010%26prg%3D1071%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D230876263064%26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It's a Gibson SB400 see the link - they are actually quite nice basses if you can get a good example. There was an SB300 too, scale length may be the difference. Both lacked the thump of the EB series. I've also seen similar models by Hoyer and Guild. http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/1971gibsonSB400.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I stand corrected. Still doesn't really look like a Gibson though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Looks like a "careful with that sander eugene" to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilLordJuju Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 These are not bad basses at all, Gibson did a great job with the woodworking and finish - certainly quality craftsmenship in the build, but the pickups are very different to the traditional overwound Gibson EB humbuckers - these are single coils - reminiscent of the melody maker guitar pickups. The bridge is a bit obscure too if you need parts. If you like the SG shape on a Gibson bass, but find the EBO too wooly/boomy, this might be one to try.
