'76 EB3 in my sights

[godofthunder]

 Pretty sure this is a '76, the last year made. Note the stock three point bridge. I think I can get it for about $700 no case. I am waiting for more pics. Hope to have it in my sweaty mitts by next week .

GOOD DEAL.

Not my favoraite era of those, but they are the most solid.

[Chris P.]

Good deal. And it looks like my sold '76er.

[LoEndMaestro]

Oh my. Now there's something to be thankful for....nice!

[TBird1958]

Buy! Buy! Buy!

What a cool bass, early Christmas in New York!

[4stringer77]

Nice! 21 frets even.

[Pilgrim]

Is that long scale or short scale??  Double points if it's short - it will balance better.

[godofthunder]

  Mark as always your the voice of reason Looks like a shorty to me.

[TBird1958]

Restraint (except in certain Eeeerrrrmmmm..... situations) is something best practiced in moderation - Buy!

Nice looking one, and a good deal at that price.

I can tell by the bridge placement that it's a shorty. Besides, the long scale EBs were gone by the 1975 catalog.

BTW, last year for these was 1979 . See catalog page and white 1978 bass from Jules' site. Note the 1976-1979 shipping totals on the latter page. Not many shipped by then!

I was wondering when the EB-3Ls ended.  I thought it might be the early 70s.  But it looks like it's 75.

Mine! Great deal on a cool bass!

Mine! Great deal on a cool bass!

That's great!  Especially considering the way my life is going at the moment, I'd like very much to find something like that.

 Dave I was living in Cleveland in '79 I remember on a local bulletin board was a posting of a white '78 EB3. I wanted it so bad, but I was totally skint at the time.

 Well I paid $795(shipping and tax ugh) for it still a bargain. It was on consignment no wiggle room until the owner decided to drop the price. In this instance I think it was well worth the extra $95 that I wanted to pay.
