does anyone know tha maker of the bridge/tailpiece perhaps?

Alembic?

Looks tasteful, I agree, and the EB-1 has enough room towards its butt to feature it well.

Sad clown... what an odd thought... just what popped into my mind with the downward curve on that tail piece...

What's on the back (other images posted on ebay)...?

I noticed that.  Battery enclosure?  Active?

I've posted it before, but at least a year before the Cream reunion, I did an EB-1 project, and used a Schaller 460 bridge.  It turned out pretty nice.

There's a nice MB1 and possibly a coil tap switch...

Why would you want to put a preamp on a Mudbucker and risk breaking the Strategic Arms Limitation Act...?

battery enclosure, prolly. looks like the mudbucker has been "topped" to make it look black.

Interesting that there's no mention in the auction of all the mods. At least he doesn't claim it's all original.

This is probably a 1970. The reissue didn't come out until then. The s/n could be as late as 1972 but the lack of a Made In USA on the back of the headstock probably means this is from early 1970.

I wonder if he had a cigarette after he did that.
