Used Gibson EB-2 Semi Acoustic bass guitar for sale. Price: NOK 45 000

[tonnie]

4 string bass guitar, with one pickup (not original), but the original pickup («Sidewinder» humbucking pickup) has been saved and is included in the sale. The original Gibson hard case is included.
Color «Sunburst», 1-layer white binding, laminated top and backside, fingerboard in Brazilian rose wood with white dot inlay, same body form as (Gibson guitar) ES-335.
Neck is made of 1 piece mahogany, with a truss rod.
Finger rest in black plastic, with 3-layers black and white binding. Number of frets: 20.

The instrument was built at Gibson in Kalamazoo in 1964 and looks very good for its age. The original frets are in nearly new codition. On the back plate there is an area of 3 ½ x 2 ½ cm., by a belt buckle. On the front plate there are some but insignificant spots. The bariton pushbutton is broken off, and has been replaced by a two position toggle switch.
I am selling as I once had bass guitar as my second instrument, but have not played it for over 40 years!

The bass guitar can be tried in Bergen, Norway.

Transportation to be discussed.

I played one in high school --> college --> after.
It came to me Jaco'ed -- the frets were out and the fingerboard covered with epoxy.
That setup, wearing roundwounds and with the factory mudbucker with the "baritone" choke engaged, sounded a lot like an upright -- or so I thought at the time anyway.
Later I re-fretted it and it nailed the classic Steve Swallow "Hotel Hello" sound!

Your replacement pickup looks like the DiMarzio Model One, yes?
So the switch would be a coil-tap?

Mine was the shorter 30" scale.
Is yours 30" or 34" ?

Sam,
I replaced bariton pushbutton with a two position toggle switch. The new pickup is a DiMarsio. The scale is 77 cm., measured between the D and A string, because of the slant of the tail piece.
The original frets still look very good.

I had played bass when in high school. I had borrowed a Hofner violin but didn't really care for it. I bounced among a couple of Gibsons. The EB-2 was my favorite. Mine was in sparkling burgundy.

The good qualities are that it doesn't neck dive, it sounds great, and looks big on stage.
