Post by: Alanko on August 21, 2018, 10:15:34 AM

A nice EB-2. Pretty much factory fresh.

A properly ventilated mudbucker.

Instruments of this type are frequently referred to as "real players" in ebay lingo.  :-X

So no access top the truss rod?  The guy is honest about it, even if he's dreaming with that price.

Looks like somebody took the opportunity to rob that bass of its tuners and fit some downgraded units?

I wouldn't rule out that some EB-2s were massacred with these tuners even at the factory.

Invisible chrome mudbucker cover too! Ventilating it would let all the tone leak out.
