Mickeyboro Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited February 3, 2019 by Mickeyboro
essexbasscat Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 There's definately something about a Gibson EB3 long scale...

inthedoghouse Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Arrrghhh!! I've just joined a Free/Bad Co tribute band! If only I hadn't lost my job a couple of years ago :-( GLWTS Edited August 14, 2017 by inthedoghouse
bassbiscuits Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I don't need this bass at all, but yet I've visited this post loads over the last couple of weeks - what keeps drawing me back? It's a fascinating bass! GLWTS chap.
Mickeyboro Posted August 18, 2017 Author Posted August 18, 2017 I'd love someone to buy and enjoy this - it's sitting in its rack looking at me and telling me not to part with it... Bump!
Mickeyboro Posted August 24, 2017 Author Posted August 24, 2017 Weekly bump. I know I'm in Bournemouth but would be prepared to travel if anyone wants to try. I certainly would expect to have a play before laying out this kind of money. All I can say is, once I handled it in the flesh I wasn't going to leave without it...
