Really?!
What year would that be? ...1970?
I've never seen a Gibson EB-1 with Alembic style fret inlays... yes, you could modify the fretboard.
...Obviously the thing has been HEAVILY modified to all Hell.
I thought it was a knock-off...
If it is authentic... Why in Gods name would you do that?!
...and $900.00 Buy It Now?!

Could be a heavily modded 1970 issue. Hard to tell with that much work done.

godofthunder · January 08, 2009, 07:54:23 PM

looks like a modded 70's to me, kinda cool but not $900 worth of cool. I'd like it better if the mudbucker was there

No more BIN price. Guess they figured out the same thing we've been saying. As much as I love EB-1's, I have a hard time seeing anything more than $250 in cool.

poor thing.

Such a poor, ugly mutha! Can't someone just bring some gasoline and a match?

I kinda like the dragon carving. There, I said it.

Rhythm N. Bliss · January 09, 2009, 03:49:18 AM

Yeah~ The carving ain't too bad, & it would make it lighter.

Appears to be Fenderized tho. ewwwww

Just kidding~ I love my EB1 stock....& my Fenders too!!
Well, kinda stock. Just had her made lefty, is all.
Some of you thot THAT was a travesty!

P & J pickups DO make for some nice blends, if they're wired right.

Barklessdog · January 09, 2009, 05:33:01 AM

The dragon itself is not bad but the poorly routed edging is ghastly.

godofthunder · January 09, 2009, 05:44:09 AM

Again another victim of the custom bass movement of the 70's. for the most part I like these basses they are a product of the times. Bassists in the 70's had few choices then over night it seemed there were dozens of after market parts. some of us went a litle overboard myself included. Custom build were for people like JE his Fenderbirds being the perfect example.
