1972 EB Earthwood bass. Professionally rebuilt/upgraded. I acquired it 15 years ago, it had already been modified with an Ebony fingerboard, Pearl cloud inlays, and cut down headstock. The top was caving in (a normal problem for these) so I removed it, and built a new top, with more conventional bracing. I secured any loose bracing on the back and sides, and installed the top. New tortoise binding, and a nitro lacquer finish. Pretty much a new bass. I Made a new bridge, installed a Shadow pickup, and Fishman preamp. The bass plays great, and sounds beautiful.
Most Earthwoods were plain jane models, this one could have been the deluxe model they never built. It comes with an original Ernie Ball Earthwood gig bag.
