[Mytt88]

Can anyone identify what bass this is?

Yamaha SA-70 maybe.

EDIT: On second thought, I don't think it's this exact model

Pigeon plucking.
The amp set up looks cool.

I'm only seeing one pickup at the neck. I see a bridge, but no bridge pick up. Only two controls.

Bridge mute cover (bottom pic) almost makes it look like a Rivoli, but it isn't. Pick guard's a different shape. Horns different shape.

Looks like an EB3 to me with a mode button near the controls.

Wuh?

EB3?

EB3 is solid body and 2 pups.

This is an EB3

Looking more like an eb2 with the mute cover over the bridge?
But I'm not seeing the switch?

It's an Gibson EB2, one pickup, mines a 66 a couple of years later the moved the hand rest over the bridge. Think of Chas Chandler of the Animals.

Ok Chas played an Epiphone but it was the same bass with a little different headstock. I have seen him also playing a Gibson EB-2.

Typo alert! You are correct. Thanks. I’ll see If I can delete my earlier post.

All good!
I think the mystery is solved.
I just wasn't convinced with the Yamaha SA-70

Thanks again. I’m an idiot enough without removing all doubt. LOL!!! Have a good one.

1. My EB-2 has a mini-toggle switch instead of the push button because when I bought it new in 1968 (it's a 66 but it must have been hanging round the store for 2 years) within the first week of ownership the push button broke off. It was made of plastic. I don't know how other EB basses have their plastic push button still intact 54 years later. I have a Gibson replacement in the case but never had it installed.

Hey, sometimes my fingers don’t type what I’m thinking too!

The funny thing is I owned 2 EB3s, and played a friends EB2 quite a bit, so I know the difference.
