NBD: 1956 Gibson EB-1

Per request, here are some full sized pics, and a couple with it's little brother. Dig that groovy plaid couch.

I think I actually owned this bass about 15-20 years ago. The wear on the back and especially the nick in the "f-hole" are just like the one I had. I bought that bass from Mike Z, a great local Boston player. It was a very sweet instrument. In any event, you are a lucky man.

Hi RickC, it's definitely possible! Especially with how few of these there are floating around out there, I wouldn't be surprised if it was your old bass.
And if it is, thanks for taking such good care of it!

If you were in Georgia I'd let you inspect it yourself to see if it is in fact your old one.

Anyway, thanks for looking!
