NBD: Finally a vintage Gibson!

[BassAgent]

I thought my collection was complete. Well, I always had GAS for a vintage Gibson EB-2 but they were way out of my budget. And then I found one online here in NL, for a decent price. Non-original knobs and switch (pots are original), non-original truss rod cover and a non-original case. But boy is this bass amazing. So happy.

Congrats on your "new" bass. May it serve you well.

There's nothing quite like an EB-2 or EB-2D. I happen to own a slightly younger sibling of your latest acquisition.

Play it in good health and enjoy!

Boy, that would be a GREAT bass to have in the arsenal, both for a unique sound AND that great vintage look. Appropriate for SOMETHING!

 

[jamro217]

Yay!!!! Oh, yeah.

Oh yeah! Beautiful bass. I'd hit that.

I played one of these in high school for a couple of weeks. Even played my first gig with the band I’m in today (50 years ago) on it. I borrowed it from a very trusting (apparently) acquaintance. My recollection was it played really well, obviously a much more expensive instrument than a Fender, and sounded sufficiently “bassy). Sadly, I had to give it back. LOL!

Congrats!

I am ever on the watch for one of these...happy you found one!!

Beautiful bass, I Love the sunburst EB-2's the switch has been replaced on mine too.

 

[GretschWretch]

Well done! I've never been an acolyte of "completely original," and in this case going completely original would just make yours like every other EB-2. Non-original knobs (although I don't really care for the ones on the bass now) make the bass YOURS!

 

[Hurricane Jimmie]

Prosit!

 

[Avezzano]

Congratulations: that bass (better if in the EB2D version, 2 pickups) is my absolute, personal holy grail.

 

[rtslinger]

Nice congrats!

I thought my collection was complete 7 basses ago. It’s not…

Nice! Congratulations - It's more than time for you to have a Gibson.
