Gust0o Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Could we have a small Gibson owners bass bash, you reckon? Wouldn't mind a go on a few of these! Quote

Heartbreaker Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 My beloved 62 Gibson EB3. I've had her for many years & I use her all the time especially for gigging, she's vertually mint despite being 50 years old next year, sounds & plays like silk.

Big_Stu Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 is that a metal frame on the bridge pickup? It looks like that in all your pics, not like the black standard one?? Quote
Heartbreaker Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Hi Big Stu, no its a chromed plastic frame that were fitted to the earliest EB3's. They were not chromed from about 63 on. You can see on the picture where my thumb has rubbed some of the chrome off from playing. [attachment=92496:Gibson EB3 62.JPG] Quote

gareth Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Beater gibbo ebo Not pretty but with that repositioned mudbucker it sounds pretty good for a short scale bass Edited December 27, 2011 by gareth Quote
Rick's Fine '52 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 [quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1298752018' post='1142796'] Here's mine - A 2000 Les Paul Standard Bass: [/quote] I love that. Probably the only Gibson bass I could ever be pursuaded to buy, (having dabbled in Gibboland enough not to try again), a honeyburst les paul standard, stunning, scarce model in the UK too. Nice one.

Shockwave Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Hey guys,This is 76' Grabber, I got the maple neck sanded down as it was pretty worn. Refinished in gloss and refretted. Replaced the original bridge with a Hipshot A style 18mm, string thru holes lined up perfectly! Body will be refinished when I get around to it, but I am very happy with the way it plays and how the bridge worked out!
