grahamd Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Now £400 posted For sale my lovely Greco EB3, mahogany body, fantastic sounding high output Maxon pickups, this is a rare 34” scale version. Been fettled, all electrics good, set up with Fender flats, 3 way pickup switch. I’ve added a Hipshot Supertone bridge which replaced the old Gibson three point one, easily sourced if you wanted to revert it to original, but I cant see why anyone would. I dont have scales but this is light, sub 9lbs for sure. It has its fair share of minor scratches and dings but generally great condition for its age, a really nice vintage instrument with mojo Edited January 7, 2019 by grahamd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Beautiful example - closest thing I can find is an EB-65, in a1989 Greco catalogue: http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/greco/1989/pdf/29.pdf The only difference (aside from the swapped bridge) would seem to be the tuners. I think it's 1990 or after based on those & the s/n - 70s & 80s Grecos use the same serials as Ibanez from the same period, with a letter denoting month & 2 numbers for the year. It's likely the pickups will have dateable codes. Anyway - enough geeking out - that's a lovely & very rare bass (certainly in these parts), & IMO a very good price. GLWTS!

briansbrew Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi Graham, You wouldn't happen to have the old 3 point bridge and if so is it up for sale. I need one for my Columbus Eb3 as its all twisted and missing parts. Cheers Mate Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
