Welcome  :)


 Nice! Looks fantastic in white. What's the story behind it, are you the original owner?

That looks nice in white.  Is this the one that was going to get refinned in white a few months back?  The end result is easy on the eyes either way.

isn't it funny that Gibsons (both basses and guitars) look so good in white. while fenders look terrible in white(they remind me of base model vans)

My next project is going to be a Les Paul/M-85 kind of bass, and I'm planning on white.  Maybe even a little binding action.

The bass is factory original. Truss rod cover has CUSTOM on it. The orange label has EB2 Special.
I aquired it from Rumbleseat, who had it a few years. I know nothing of it's previous history.
Flat wound strings,...may have to change that.

Nice bass. Usually custom color EB-2's would have a code on the inside sticker such as EB-2 W for white or EB-2 C N for EB-2 C in natural.

Nice whitey!  :thumbsup:

audiorep2 has actually been a member here for over a year. He just doesn't yak like the rest of us.  ;D

Unless something has changed, he has a nice EB2 collection and an original (doublecut Junior) style EB-0.

Very Nice! Its true Gibby's look gud in white and F*****'s dont.
There was a guy in eastern canada that had  a nice collection of  EB2's if my memory serves me right. That the 1st (maybe2nd)thing I thought of when I saw that.
 Maybe if I ever get the ballz to  do my green StarfireII refin this white would be a good fall back to  cover the f'up!. Regardless, it looks awesome in white. :mrgreen:
