Hi everyone,

Could you help me to find the ID of the bass in the photo ?

Thank you so much,

I'm not sure... It's a photo from the late '60

It looks like a Gibson EB-1.

It also looks like the tuners have been changed to Schallers. Are you sure this is from the late ‘60s? Schallers would be more likely in the ’70s.

You're totally right ! Thank you so much.
Just had a look at the prices... So expensive

Perfect fit for your "Mountain" tribute band.

Is that Felix Pappalardi? If so it's probably a Gibson EB-1/EB-0

Holy crap. You're like the Yoda of TB. I have no idea how you sussed that out, but I am impressed! I have been playing Mississippi Queen for the fun of it (it is kind of a fun, riffy bass part) but I would never have landed on Mountain from this image.

I’m full of all sorts of worthless knowledge. Learn “Theme for an Imaginary Western” and “Never In My Life”.

Eastwood makes a more affordable version for $850.

Judging by the replaced tuners in the video I posted and the one's in @LucaF's pic, it is indeed Pappalardi. I've only played an EB-1 once, in a shop in London. The two things that struck me were a) the little banjo tuners weren't holding pitch very well, and b) it was face-meltingly expensive compared to an EB-O, without offering any functional advantage.
