Used Gibson EB-3 SLOTTED HEADSTOCK Vintage Bass Guitar Red 4-String
Shipping: $75
Description
Up for sale is a vintage 1968 Gibson EB-3 bass in its original walnut finish, showcasing the classic SG-style double-cutaway design that has made these instruments highly sought after by players and collectors alike.
This short-scale bass delivers the unmistakable Gibson tone—deep, warm lows from the powerful neck humbucker combined with added definition and versatility from the bridge pickup. The lightweight mahogany construction and comfortable neck make it an exceptionally enjoyable instrument to play, whether in the studio or on stage.
The bass is in good overall condition for its age, exhibiting honest cosmetic wear consistent with nearly six decades of use. The finish shows natural aging and playwear that contribute to its vintage character without detracting from its appearance or functionality. The original bridge cover is missing, but otherwise the instrument presents well and retains the classic look and feel expected from a late-1960s EB-3. The biggest issue is a crack showing on the back of the neck going into the headstock. It appears to have been repaired a long time ago.
A true vintage Gibson with timeless styling, excellent playability, and the distinctive sound that helped define an era of rock music. Whether you're a collector looking for an authentic late-'60s Gibson or a player seeking a unique vintage bass, this 1968 EB-3 is a fantastic example of one of Gibson's most iconic bass models.
