Cool, I didn't know the EB-0 was for sale. But WHY do people who add a J at the bridge put it RIGHT at the bridge? The string is barely moving there.

Perhaps it only had the function of a dummy coil to make a humbucking combination with the other Jazz pickup near the chrome handrest?

I'd assume that they placed it there for some added click (or better "bone" with an EB-0, 'click' is too much a word really). Sufficient bass is never an issue with an EB-0, but for some audible attack ...

If you listen to his bass playing here it sounds a bit like Peter Cetera's early EB bass work did with Chicago. Could be that EB-0.

I think the bridge pickup of an EB-3 is too close to the bridge.  A Jazz pickup right smack at the bridge would be useless.

I don't think its the placement of the pickup, its the pickup itself.

Only fleeting glances, but def an EB2 (or Rivoli; like I said fleeting and I no feel like playing the pause game - likely too blurry anyway).

More EB2. I think it's borrowed for the vid at best, but looks like a real one - saw a flash of the headstock inlay.

Although indeed blurry, 37s into the Jesus And Mary Chain-clip you can see it's a Gibson rather than Epiphone logo on the headstock.

Inlay threw me off.  Didn't get a good look at the pickguard.  Looking again, the headstock shape, as indestinct as it is, does look more Epi than Gibson.  ... and google image shows that there were some Epis with, not a crown inlay, but something that could be mistaken for one in a grainy vid, vs solid black so fair enough.
