FS: Greco EB-3

[Mental Octopus]

Up for grabs is a fantastic copy of the Gibson EB-3.... Made in Japan by Greco. For those that don't know, Greco was known for making outstanding copies of Gibson and Fender guitars. This bass was made sometime in the 80s and is a good example of excellent japanese craftsmanship.

It's made of mahogany, and has what looks to be a mahogany/maple laminated set neck. Very slim profile front to back, wide at the nut. 2 pickups, the neck pickup isn't really a traditional mudbucker... Looks like a single coil in a large housing. 34" scale, very lightweight with perfect balance. In fantastic cosmetic shape with little wear.

I'm only selling this because I'm more of a fender guy and need to pay some bills.

SOLD

Hi - is there a case with this?

[Mental Octopus]

Don't have a case or gigbag for it unfortunately. It will be packed very well, though!

[wilbur88]

Thanks - interesting bass. I'll sleep on it.

Looks to have been made in January '84 at Fuji Gen-Gakki if that helps.

thanks! same factory that produced Fender Japan models at the time.

also, I put a set of flats (chromes) on the Greco and it really thumps now... I'll include the roundwound strings as well.

This looks awesome, and the price is amazing. Would you ship overseas, to Australia for example?
