Somebody Go Get This

"We're sorry, but the product that you are searching for is sold out at this time"



Uh oh.... looks like the punks got there first!

 

Well, it's an EB-4L alright. Although I don't know if $800 w/out case is all that big a deal.

 

I would be all over that for $800.00.

 

...and I would not.

 

well maybe it's more than you can handle?

never seen one until a couple weeks ago when I saw these guys. now I want one.
$800.00 for a rare vintage Gibby c'mon

 

It's still for sale. Go for it.




People get all dazzled by "vintage' and forget that those EB-4L's weren't great basses. In fact, they were the opposite of great.

 

asking to much for it imo.

 

oh I know, post 1972 Fender basses are awful too, apparently.

 

QUITE the opposite, I can assure you.

 

Not all of them, just a large number of them. Ask around, most with experience will tell you the same thing.




The problem with post-'72 Fenders was poor quality control. The problem with the EB-4 was the crappy pickup and half-assed thought that went into the design. There's a reason there aren't many of these around. It's because people didn't want them. And there' a reason they didn't want them...

 

The woodworking on Gibson basses has always been good. I've never held a Gibson bass that felt "cheap". My complaints are mainly about the hardware/electronics.

 

Yup - it's just too much bass for me.

 

Gone!

 

hopefully the bridge doesn't fall off and they can stomach the awful tones.

 

+1 on both your posts. Ripper was their good bass.
