i wish i could will this one on someone here just to know it goes to a good home.

Wow...!
-
Why? A lot of nice hi-res pics doesn't change the fact that it's an EB-0 from the least sought after era (moved pickup, three piece maple neck and noticeably heavier).
Grossly overpriced.
-
thats the "era" i would like one from. though i'd like an EB-3L.
-
i am not so amazed at the instrument as the condition it is in and yes it is overpriced. it still deserves a nod of respect for the owner or whoever kept it in this shape.
-
That is some volute. I think these are tied with slotheads as least desireable, but it is clean.
-
Way way over priced :o
-
could it be that taxes are due and the closet queens are coming out?

I think you mean case queens. ;D
Hard to say. Sometimes a case queen is put in the case because it plays like a turd.
-
Ya'll are so jaded :D, It's still beautiful!
-
I haven't been a closet queen for years................. ;)
I like that bass! esp. the script Gibson pup.

LOL, sometimes i am not politically correct and sometimes i am so naive it hurts. no harm intended Mark.
when i used to build Hotrods, i sometimes called the high dollar rides trailer queens when they would get trailered to events. coming from the midwest i would ask "What gets hauled around in pickups?" = answer: Hound dogs and Harleys. My brother who rides a
Sportster with a Screaming Eagle kit never appreciated this last one.
edit for spelling and my usual snyde remark.

No worries here ;D

I love this place! :D :D

Pass this one along to him.
"This Harley rider was tooling down the road when his bike suddenly quit. Pulling over onto the shoulder, he leaned the bike over onto the sidestand, crouched down and started checking out the wiring, linkages, etc. Well, a moment later a guy riding an Indian pulled up and asked if the Harley rider needed any help. The Harley rider, very appreciative said, "Yes, that would be great, thanks!"
So the Indian rider got off his bike and pulled out his tool kit.
The Harley guy asked, "Do you have any wrenches?"
The Indian rider answered, "Sure do. What size do you need?"
The Harley guy answered, "Doesn't matter, I'm going to use it for a hammer anyway."
;D

The seventies EBs are underrated as basses. Where a sixties EB is admittedly one blurry bliss, the seventies models have definitely more attack and focus. Some people like that. And they don't feel like toys/guitars either. However this one is from 1972 when these were most prevalent, I'd prefer a late seventies one when only a few of these were still shipped.
