Willie Moseley, in Vintage Guitar, referred to the bass guitar as possibly \"Gibson's biggest bass invention\", although it was not a great commercial success.  Overtime, it became a cult hit and favorite of bass players that desired something different than most of what would be seen out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduced in 1958, the EB-2 was the bass guitar equivalent of the popular Gibson ES-335. It featured a semi-hollow body, a short 30.5\" scale neck and one large \"Sidewinder\" humbucking pickup in the neck \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eposition. The electronics consisted of a single volume and tone knob. The next year a \"Baritone switch\" was added, which enhanced or cut the bass frequencies, and later \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea string mute was added to the bridge.  By 1961 the original banjo-style \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etuners were replaced by larger open gear tuners.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1966, the EB-2D was introduced, which added a mini-humbucker pickup in the bridge position (like the EB-3). Electronics included separate volume and tone controls and a 3-way switch to select the pickups, as well as the \"baritone\" switch. With distinguished looks that mirror Gibson's famous ES-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e335 guitar, the EB-2D offers warm, thumping low end power with great \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshort-scale playability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular bass is in great shape, especially considering it's age.  It's all o\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eriginal except replaced strap buttons (also the pickup cover was removed long ago).  We've vetted the bass, and the techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly.  The original case is included as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a rare find, especially one like this.  The neck is slim, the sound is fat, and the vibe is as cool as it gets.  While you won't be using this in your Slayer cover band, it is a surprisingly versatile bass for rock, as well as R\u0026amp;B, country and much more.  We have a feeling it will go quickly!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial # 40063\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46344777662707,"sku":"80GIB169","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img13001.jpg?v=1729790974","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/vintage-1967-gibson-eb-2d-black-with-hsc","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
