Interesting bass comparison
Dave W:
I want a '54 EB!
Granted, it doesn't sound different from my '71 EB-0, but that is so cool!
4stringer77:
Of course it's different from an EB-O. For one thing, it has a single coil mudbucker, and it has that made in the fifties Gibson magic that I'm sure you can hear ;)

And there's the clear difference between Cuban and Honduras mahogany which is easy to hear with those pickups. ;D
4stringer77:
The fifties EB was Cuban mahogany? Wasn't that species of mahogany a scarce commodity and not really in commercial usage or circulation even at that time?
Dave W:
Cuban from Cuba was pretty well done by then, but the same species was still being harvested in Mexico and Belize. My remark was tongue-in-cheek, no one really knows for sure what Gibson used. Lots of speculation, no hard evidence.
