Gibson EB6

[yorks5stringer]

Don't ya love Gibson Basses? They take a 335 guitar body, convert it to a Bass (EB2), then give it back 6 strings to make an EB6 baritone. Yours for £12.5K and rare as hen's teeth!

That's an awful sunburst, plus I hate that shape.

But yay for a Baritone!

Not really a Baritone with that pickup placement. More a Bass VI.

Cool - Thats the first one Ive seen like that...I always remembered EB-6s like this one: SG shape with bass clover tuning keys

Eye of the beholder - I love that sunburst and shape!  (but owning ‘58 sunburst and ‘69 cherry EB-2’s I would.......😉)

Don't remember Tom Peterson ever playing that......

That a YoB bass that I would actually play... but not at that price.

 

BTW I don't see what the problem is with the sunburst?

Wonder if this is what Bruce Springsteen was playing in his early days, struggling to get a decent sound when someone said to him "nice bass" or something like that.
