The Gibson EB-0 is a true design classic. From its SG body launch in 1961 to its demise decades later, it remained Gibson's most popular bass, making up almost a third of all Gibson solid body bass sales. Jermaine Jackson of the Jackson Five, Billy Kinsley of the Merseybeats, Dave Ambrose of the Brian Auger Trinity, and Dennis Dunaway of Alice Cooper all gravitated towards the EB-0 and it's cousin, the dual pickup EB-3 for its key features like the 30" scale length, 1.72" nut width, lightweight mahogany construction, and deep humbucking tones. Simple volume and tone controls are all you need to dial in this great playing vintage bass. Replacement OEM tuning machines were swapped out likely to improve overall balance, yet retains the original bridge and hand and finger rests. This bass had a headstock crack ,many years ago, that has been repaired and touched up. It also has upgraded tuners and the original tuner holes are visible (see pictures). The pickup has been updated as well and can be coil split for a more defined tone, if the future owner likes.
