SOLD
1968 Gibson EB2DC in see through Cherry Red finish. Just got this, and it seems that I am just not a Gibson Bass guy.
Before you get too excited, the bass has had a headstock crack. Not a break, but a crack that has been professionally repaired. Ther is no problem with stability or tuning. Here is the description from Link Removed, where I got the bass:
Super nice bass that unfortunately at some time in its life had a super pro headstock repair. Possibly the best repair of its type that weve have seen, a really great job. Absolute factory 2 pickup. The bass is clean and plays and sounds terrific. The witch hats were replaced with speed knobs. HSC. Unbroken clean EB2DCs are hitting the 2k range.
I have pictures posted at Link Removed. There are two photos of the back of the neck where the repair can be seen.
Other issues: The original knobs have been replaced with speed knobs (I don't have the originals) and the two nuts for the mute posts are missing. Neither of these issues affects playablity or functionality at all. Most of all, this thing sounds great, lots of rumble on the neck pickup, nice thump with both pickups engaged. The bass is currently strung with TI Jazz flats and would come with a hardshell case
I'd like to get $1100 shipped in the continental US for this bass, but would consider trades (plus cash, depending on the trade) for the following:
Lakland Skyline Joe Osborne
Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones
Fender MIA Jazz Bass (prefer a maple board)
I'm open to other offers, so if you've got something, let me know.
Plenty of internet references should you need them.
Thanks.
