Jigster Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Hi All, £590 plus p+p but wud prefer pick up Classic vibe bass, all original parts excepting the volume knob, which has been replaced, plenty of body wear as you’d expect for its 36 years, but all adds to the feel. Cherry red which has faded to a nice deep hue, central humbucking pick up, short scale delivers a smooth fast action for great bass licks. Frets are in great condition.

SS73 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 That's nice, love the colour depth. 73 is around the time they moved the neck pup closer to the bridge, a good move and they still had the muddy sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilLordJuju Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 [quote name='Jigster' post='628843' date='Oct 17 2009, 04:43 PM']what do peeps think about the price?[/quote] You leave too much to guesswork It is in good condition, by the looks of it, but you say plenty of wear? How much? Where? Does it have an original Gibson case? Is this cherry faded to walnut, or was it walnut to start with? Are the electrics original/untouched (pic). Pot codes? Any damage to the truss rod tip? (overtightening can snap it off) Anything about action and playability? A complete mid seventies EB0, is worth somewhere between £500 and £800 i'd say... You need to clarify the points above and get some really good pics to allow people to judge where on that scale your bass lies. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for feedback evil juju - have a few more photos I took a while back - guitar currently trying its luck in a shop so can't get to it!! You can see it's like a blackberry colour almost, but I reckon it started out as a lighter cherry. The action is ultra low, it's like playing a six string, very swift and playable - the neck is a beaut. Altho I'd presume any buyer would set it up how they want it for themselves. The frets as one can see are in excellent condition. By wear I meant the body has bits and bobs of chips in the paint and buckle rash - and the tuners are a bit OLD looking, but it's 73 hey! The electrics are all sound and original (no photies of pots afraid), but bought from Nick's Guitars near Leeds so more than confident of its authenticity, and that it's been well looked after re. truss rod or any over tightening etc. As I said, original vol knob has been replaced, aside from that it's all as it was/is. No case though I'm afraid. The more I've researched this and other EBo's up for sale, am pretty happy that £700 is a good price + any postage but p/u preferred.
