Title: NBD- 1964 EBO!
Post by: Denis on January 21, 2017, 10:06:42 AM

A friend (Rexdiablo on here) and I agreed to swap my Sunn Coliseum and the Sunn 2x15 for his '64 EBO. It's a terrific bass and he loves the Sunns, so we both came out ahead!

Very nice, and I see both the original bridge and the mute.  Great sounds from that one!

Nice! Trades where both parties get exactly what they want are the best.

Thanks! Yeah, it worked out well. Mike's already used the Sunns  at practice and told me that those with his RD might be his new favorite sound. So, it worked out well!
He loaned me this bass last year but I'd forgotten how small and light it is. It's a beauty!

Thanks all!
I still surprises me how light it is. And tiny!

Indeed, those basses are a pleasure to paly. They're light, balance pretty well (with a 30" neck, not with anything longer), and are mighty sounding.
