A very unusual Gibson bass

[eb2]

Nice inlays, especially on the headstock.  I think this may be the ultra rare EB-3.5

It's vintage!

Sheesh, does that need some work...

Makes my gear look pristine...

i looked at that and didn't see or noticed the following:

no truss rod under the missing TR cover, but i did see some screw holes
an unsual shaped cavity cover
no serial number on blowing up the back of the headstock picture i downloaded
a short headstock like an earlier 60's but a volute like a 70's might have

and decided it might not be a Gibby but a Gibby ripoff and decided to pass on it

[TBird1958]

I dunno.......... 4, count'em 4, chicken head knobs.  Who could pass up that

that mysterious cross on the back, i think the freemasons are involved in this one.

[Highlander]

Naahh, its the free-carpenters, no concrete in sight...

It's obviously from Gibson's Japanese division. 

And it's obviously the extremely rare EB-4C (for the 4 chickenheads). 

The item location is "bullhead city, AZ" -- I think it's actually the other end of the bull.
