1968 Gibson EB0 Bass Mahogany
Gibson EB0 1968/69 Bass USA
This beautiful old bass comes complete with original tug bar, working mute and bridge cover. Even the original plastic shims under the bridge cover ‘feet’ are present.
Short scale, set neck with pearl inlays and rosewood board. Mahogany body.
In ‘68 Gibson were using imported tuners from their Kalamazoo range to keep up with orders as interest in the bass hit it’s peak. Unfortunately one of the tuners had a chewed up gear cog so I have fitted Gibson period correct tuners so no issues now and it looks perfect. The originals are inside the case.
The bass has had no neck or headstock repairs. It’s lovely to play and nice and light but resonant. The big Gibson mud-bucker is stock and sounds massive. It is strung with Thomastik Jazz flats and the trussrod works properly as it should.
Comes with a nice but non original case
