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

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!
