1964 Gibson EB-0 Player w Case 800£ £800

[melodymaker]

Hi,

i'm selling my 1964 EB-0. It has been modded to three original Gibson Mudbucker Pickups!

Had also the typical neck repair - absolutely stable. There has been added a badass bridge too.

Its a player but it sounds terrific anyway, resonates fantastic. 

 

Comes with an eb0 Epiphone Case. So shipping is no problem.

 

Cheers

Andre

Absolutely love this - very rock’n’roll.  Love the one-knob approach too - who really needs more!?  Volume I assume - possibly even better if it's just on and off?

You know, I feel like buying this just to build a balls-out, early '70s pub rock band around it.  I see a Marshall Major and two scruffy 4x12s... wiping away a misty-eyed nostalgic tear

That is brilliant. Love it. Wish I had the spare cash. GLWTS.

Where are you located?

Is the neck straight?

Have you checked the trussrod?

[melodymaker]

Hi,

i'm located in hamburg, germany. the neck is straight. Never touched the trussrod, but will check this later the day.

Cheers

Fantastic modification; I've never seen another like this. I don't agree entirely with the single knob approach and think the project here would be to use one hole for concentric volume/tone and the other for a five way pick up selector. 

[melodymaker]

@Sparky Mark I'm with you. An additional pickup selector would totally make sense.

[melodymaker]

And yes, the trussrod works fine. I tightened it btw.

A very nice dinosaur bass! Would benefit esthetically from this Hipshot bridge:

Also the switching mentioned above...
These old basses often get cracked around the jack when clumsy persons step on the cable.  A good safety mod would be to install a form fitted plate/grounding piece at the bottom of the controls cavity. Hadn't my dungeons been overly full I'd buy it just for the sake of it...

An amazing bass, with a 5-way rotary switch and only 1 volume it would be perfect!

Agreed, tone control not necessary as it would always be at maximum anyway.

I wanna hear this so bad 

[maut]

Me too. But I have to let this pass... too much old stuff already.

Gibson custom 3 pickup? Spinal Tap anyone? 😁

[Gurvas]

Oh yes. So purdy. Do you have any sound clips? I might have to sell some stuff and buy this, rare mod, rare bass. Could you ship out of the country without cites papers though? 

[maut]

Reminds me a bit of Mike Watts EB, but the neck PU on his is just a metal dummy plate to cover the hole.

And he used a Schaller bridge to be able to adjust the string spacing.

hi @maut and that is the exact reason i needed to have the bass in the first place.
