Finally bought an EB-0

drbassman · September 08, 2011, 08:30:56 AM

I've been wanting an EB-0 for my collection and didn't care if it were perfect. I found one I can buff up and play easily and bought with an offer. This is not a project, I bought it to play!

I'll share more when it comes in!

Cool bass Bill, enjoy it!

I need one of these someday!

Nice, and a two-point bridge to boot.

Thanks guys! I really don't have enough mud in my life. At least the 2 pointer already has the necessary tilt in it to work properly, so I won't have to adjust it!

Actually, since I'm considering this a player (after some buffing) I was wondering if one of the Hipshot bridges would fit on this. I'll have to look, just for fun.

Bill - welcome to the club! given your new group, I think you will find places to use it - definitely the most distinctive sounding bass I own. it's light, balances decently and is fun to play.

Gee, you have the NEW IMPROVED model bridge - mine has the old "bar" bridge...other than that and the Dimarzio pickup, they're clearly brothers.

Yeah, I love the older belvelled EB-0 bodies. Can't wait to play it, finish flaws and all!

Nice bass Bill! I saw that one on ebay, sure does look like a nice player.

Thanks Scott, I offered him $795 and he took it. I think I did OK.

(ps jump to 1.50 if you don't get quaint old English musica-hall humour - recorded the year I was born...)

btw... nice... very nice...

Thanks Scott, we'll see how it looks in person.

Looks great! Looks like the brother to mine. I paid $900.00 a few years back with the handrest missing so you did good in my opinion. I always thought of these as transition models, with the old handrest and the new ultra hip Tilt-o-matic bridge!

Wow, yours is a beauty! Hope I can dress mine up as well. It will look nice next to my EB-3, if I ever get her done!!!!

The EB0 lands on Thursday!
