1961 EB-0 Bass

Very nice!

Say, is it missing the tug bar? Or did you take it off?

I found a couple of the repro tug bars I made out of ebony a few years back - I f you want one and if I can find them again I'd be happy to pop one into the mail for you.

Looks like it has had a tug bar mounted on the E string side in its past - the holes are there.

Not as deep as my '60, its body is almost twice as thick and there's a lot of difference between it and my '65 soundwise. Not to mention no neck dive on the '60.  But that '61 is really nice, congrats!  I keep my '60 in a Fender electric 12 string case, it's lived there since around '72.

I''ve never had any problems with neck dive on my '64 Gibson EB-O.  But every Epi EB-O or EB-3 I've tried out has had neck dive big time.

Many thanks to Bill (Sniper) for setting me up with a wonderful Gibson bass case for my instrument.  Candy Corn says it "fits like a glove."

i think i got that right after my lysergic daze days when Moses carried down from the mountain God's sacred EB.

One of my two cases is identical to this one, the other has a dark grey interior. I wonder what Gibson was thinking, going with the white interior........... it will show dirt much worse than the old yellow insides did.

Exterior bottom - had to glue part of the bottom back on...
