Saw this on Jules site EB claims one of only 25 ever made.
63 seems early for fuzz to me.

Wow, If I ever knew that there was an Epi version of the Gibson EB-0F, I had forgotten it.
The EB-0F was only produced from 1962-64, so the date on this one is right. I can't imagine him getting anyway near that price though.
-
I researched EB0F's pretty hard when I got one. I have this magazine ad somewhere with the epi fuzz pictured, but this is
the first time I see one for real. I love it! The EB0F's are rare and pricey, but does not seem to sell fast when listed. I followed a few (!),
and some was on ebay a couple of years at a steep price before taken out and relisted later.
I had some correspondance with gibson too, it was more like 'have we made a fuzztone bass, are you sure?'
-
That's quite a fascinating find. At least it is to me anyway. On the other hand, I can't even imagine anyone paying anywhere near that much, either.
-
I thought I had learned by now to resist ebay stuff, but the more I look at it....
I agree, too pricey. Must.. not.. get.. mastercard....
Hey, Santa might read this! PM me if you do :)
-
If this is such a rarity is it going to be of interest to a certain person of Deutschland origins...?
-
Does he collect for brand names???
He has a '61 non fuzz version also.

I know he has collected some and I suspect this is different enough from being a "fin", but he's also not one for over-priced, but... very niche-market and very specialised, but Uwe's way way beyond the law of diminishing returns...
-
He'll be interested to see it but I doubt he'll want to pay that price.
-
Too late now anyway.

Unless I'm missing something, doesn't look like it sold.

I'm not obsessive with Epis, old or new. I have a Newport and I have an EB-0F, no need for a Newport-F. That distortion sound is extremely limited in its usage, but otoh it has a typical sound you can't get with anything else.

Every time I go to it, it says it has ended, both yesterday and today. I'm not sure how ebay works anymore. I lost so much money on it ten years ago, I never bother with it. I'm assuming, though, unless they've changed things, that time has expired on the item and if he still wants to sell it, he'll have to re-list it at some point.

This seller also has a retail store and it's in his inventory (http://www.gbase.com/powered/geardetails.aspx?dealer=52af30ec-b15b-41a7-9b9b-0675fecf3be4&item=3270377), assuming his online inventory is current. It won't necessarily be relisted but I'd guess it's still available.
He has quite a few 60s vintage Epi guitars, also priced well up there.

That makes sense. I've noticed that stores that list on gbase do have a tendency to have the prices well up there anyway, not just on vintage Epis.
