Details

Here is my super-clean EB5 -- other than a couple very small marks in the open-grain wood, it's nearly mint. I'm the original owner. It has a great-feeling, super-fast asymmetrical maple set-neck with Rosewood fingerboard and a super B string. Hardware includes a Babicz bridge and Gotoh tuners.

When I got this bass, I loved everything about it but the tone. I took it to Mike Lull, who encouraged me to add an active Bartolini 18 volt three-band preamp with midrange frequency selector and series-parallel selector. The bass now has a much greater range of adjustment, while still maintaining the wallop of those massive EB5 pickups!

I'm asking $775 plus shipping. It comes with the excellent Gibson hardshell case. Here are some pictures:

Seeing as this one does not have the anniversary logo on the 12th fret, is it correct to assume it is a 2013 model? If so, did Mike Lull drill a side mount jack hole?

What are the controls? Volume, blend, mid range, and stacked treble/bass with the switch being the parallel/series control? How is the mid frequencies selecteable?

Thanks for asking! Yes, it’s the 2013 model. Mike added a side output jack. Yes to the controls. The midrange frequency is selectable via push-pull midrange pot.

Used to play the Gibson stages when these came out. I always gravitated towards these from their arsenal that you had to use. After the first time trying them, I bought one and still have it. These are way underrated. And with these upgrades I am very curious and tempted. These are great and this is a steal!! Lots of bass for the money.
