2013 Gibson EB Electric Bass Guitar Sunburst

Offered for sale:

Used 2013 Gibson EB Electric Bass serial number 111531326.

This bass is in very good condition, neck and frets are fine. Cosmetically there are numerous nicks and chips about the body, thumb wear above the bridge pickup, and two small broken edges on the pickguard. Overall showing extensive playing wear but not abuse.

Gibson tradition and innovation meet in a thundering new bass.

The 2013 EB Bass has deep roots in rock 'n 'roll, with its SG-derived body and chunky pickups rumbling out the low end for countless rockers from the '60s to today. Now Gibson USA blends its knack for innovation with Gibson tradition in an ingenious reinvention of the format to bring you the new EB Bass, one of the most powerful and versatile four strings available today.

The new EB Bass marries a brand new and extremely comfortable body shape to a, full-scale neck and two awesome sounding new humbucking bass pickups for unprecedented power and fidelity. Whether you play in-the-pocket funk, warm and sultry jazz, or raging rock, the EB Bass is primed to take it on. And it looks great in the process, too, with its grain-textured nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Satin Fireburst Vintage Gloss, offset by a stylishly swept-back red tortoise pickguard.

The foundation of the new EB Bass lies in a solid ash body, solid maple neck, and rosewood fretboard. Ash has long been respected for its open, resonant tone, and lends itself perfectly to a rich, versatile-voiced bass. A glued-in solid Grade-A maple neck adds punch and clarity, and feels superbly playable with its rounded profile that measures .800" at the 1st fret and .900" at the 12th. Its genuine rosewood fingerboard follows the full 34" scale length, and carries 20 medium jumbo frets, all easily reached by the playing hand thanks to the EB Bass's new offset double-cutaway styling. Up at the other end, a traditional Gibson headstock and high-quality Grover tuners stick with tradition, while a precision PLEK cut Corian nut optimizes sustain and intonation.

The new EB Bass’s unprecedented blend of power, fidelity, and versatility comes courtesy of an incredible pair of new Gibson bass pickups by Jim DeCola that give bassists the best of both worlds in cool bass tone. These newly designed pickups blend genuine Alnico V rod magnets with proprietary winding methods and other materials for a more focused tonality, taking you from thundering humbucker rumble to gutsy robust single coil tones on demand. Pop up either pickup's volume control to access a new frequency tuned coil tap for a fatter single coil tone and better output balance, with hum canceling when both pickups are combined, and low-noise operation when used individually. Blended as desired via independent volume controls and a master tone control, they are wound for warmth and clarity in the neck position, and a hotter, punchier tone in the bridge position for maximum rumble—or blend infinitely at will to create your own sonic brew. A great, highly engineered Babicz full contact bass bridge feeds these incredible pickups with the optimum clarity and sustain, while being easily adjustable for perfect intonation, completing a new EB Bass that looks and feels entirely “classic," yet offers a versatile contemporary performance that every modern bassist will appreciate.

Another Gibson Brands tradition is that they innovate and new cool instrument and then discontinue it. Like the Night Hawk 3 pickup, Blues Hawk, ES-135, Midtown and on and on. Why? ‘Cause it’s not a Les Paul? SG? EB-3?

Original hard-shell case included.
