yorks5stringer Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) 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! https://reverb.com/uk/item/36799908-1960-gibson-eb-6?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=Criteo-UK-SimilarAudiences-MF-2021Q4&utm_content=0x0#tblciGiDHBe0Gb_5s2BYbirCu9kUaoapBsIXFUla5CAHF9UDgvCDwjE4o2Zv-3rOuo9mzAQ Edited June 7, 2022 by yorks5stringer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 That's an awful sunburst, plus I hate that shape. But yay for a Baritone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Not really a Baritone with that pickup placement. More a Bass VI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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......

BigRedX Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
