Langusta Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) NOW 1.200 GBP Hello Gibson Fans, For sale is my very rare original made in the USA old Gibson EB 3 and special fitted hard case. This plush deep set case provides perfect protection for the bass. Original Gibson wine red finish and the rare slotheadstock. Gibson made this rare headstock only in that time 1968/69 to 1971 This great looking slot head short-scale bass has a very nice slim tapered neck and is fast as lightning to play. The EB-3 was made for speed. She is also lightweight, well balance, with outstanding playability. Comfortable weight of 3.7kg! The bass is in very good condition. The neck is straight, frets and fingerboard are great with good string action. All pickups and electrics work perfectly. This fantastic sounding bass has incredible sustain and growls the way it should. Loves to "ROCK" and the neck is easy to play. 4 pickup settings to choose from, with loads of tonal possibilities. Great sound variation, the neck pick up makes the big bottom bass tone alone, the bridge pick up is the sound from a good Fender. The Gibson has all its original parts so will appreciate in value. A good investment and a great bass to own and play. I make my information for the bass with a good feeling and true heart. The bass works great on stage or in studio.

tazza1 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I had one of these up until a few years ago but had to sell it due to money issues. I've always regretted it! One of the advantages of these slot-headed EB's is that there is virtually no neck dive & also they tend to stay in tune when laid down in a case because the tuners are angled backwards from the head so they don't get knocked. Good luck with the sale - wish I had the money!

Jazz Bass 65 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Wouldn't buy one now as I'm into 5 strings but the EB3 and the Fender Bass VI were the basses that I dreamt for in the 60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
