Year of this EB0 bass


Recommended Posts

My Brother in law passed away, and I have his EB0 Bass. Trying to help my sister out on what year, and approximant value if possible.  Not sure how it was done, but the headstock was cracked in half, and he had it repaired somewhere.  So the crack is visible. But it plays, and tunes just fine.  Any ideas?

I would say about 1967. Chrome hardware, the larger pickup cover & reflector knobs place it around that timeframe. The hand rest looks wrong & the finger rest has been removed. The current Vintage Guitar Price Guide lists it from $1,300 to $1,700. With a headstock repair, it would likely reduce it to around $1,000. Look on eBay & Reverb to see what EB-0’s are actually selling for to help set a price.
