Beautiful.
He did register here last year, just hasn't posted much.
Sweet! Looks like the sunburst brother to my cherry '67 EB-2.

Both look very very nice
Price seems right for its super fine condition.
Out of my price range, but one lovely bass!!!!
I wish you could still get them for $150-250, but times being what they be, $2k seems right. Clean, not broken, and all the bits and pieces there. With a case, that is more at looney bins like Mandolin Bros, Gruhn, and The Hollywood Collection.
Yep. It's priced fairly.
Thanks, guys. I check in every so often, even though I don't post much. Some cats here (barklessdog and that funny T-bird hoarder who used to live in LA) have met me in person and can vouch for me (at least I HOPE they can....)
Hey Duke, I just PMd you over at BABP
I would do business with Duke in a heartbeat, an upstanding guy & well respected in the bass community. Known him a long time from the old Pit days. Has one heck of a nice mojo'd rare cherry burst Ripper. Had a song on the old Gibson Pit CD as well.
Thanks a lot, Mark! >:( Just what I needed ;D
Sent my son to pick it up, he says it looks just like the pictures. I asked him how it played, that was a joke, he doesn't.
I'll either have him send it to me or keep it until I get out west, probably in the fall.
In about '68 I played one a bit, it belonged to the band I was in. May have been a 2D, can't remember but I do know it DID NOT have banjos and it was much flashier than my EBO. One night I broke a D string in the middle of the second set and had to play 2 1/2 more with 3 strings. No one carried extra strings much less an extra bass in those days.
I'm looking forward to the THUMP!
Congrats!!!! My '67 is the Gibson bass that started this GAS problem. I've had it for over 37 years.............. :thumbsup:

Nothing like old friends...but the witch hats have to go on this one. That's about the time I knew I was done with Gibson basses, when they started putting Fender amplifier knobs on them.
@ Barklessdog - thanks for the kind words.
@ dadagobal - Enjoy your thump!
that ones' pretty similar to my '68 EB2 (but '68's have a different bridge):

but i actually prefer using my '66 EB2D. IMO, the bridge pickup (mini humbucker under the rear cover) adds alot more versatility:

My EB-2DC is a '68................ ;D
