Lungimsam Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 If so, how did the built in Fuzztone sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The built in Fuzz-Tone sound kind of like an Electric Fart! There is quite a delay in the attack, depending on how hard you pluck the string. It was kind of an odd combination that really didn't sell well. Only about 250 of these sold in three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Is that one yours? Thanks for the info. Too bad it didn't sound good and catch on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bad refin. My intent was to restore it back to it's origional color, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grog Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I did! A few years back I had it refinished at Dave’s Guitar Shop in LaCrosse WI. They did a great job! I guess it was done the year it turned 50. Edited April 17, 2020 by Grog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy56 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) What are the characterisics of this bass? I see some controls additional to volumen and tone, but do you know what are they for? Thanks Andy Edited April 17, 2020 by Andy56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) The bass is identical to an EB-0 of the same era, with the exception of a built in Fuzztone. The controls are the same as the pedal, but with a bypass switch. The basses all have the first variation of the Fuzztone in them, FZ-1. My pedal pictured is of a FZ-1A, the second variation with different transistors I believe. The pedal has a volume, the bass has an ON/OFF to save battery life. The volume on the bass controls the Fuzztone also if it is on. Edited April 17, 2020 by Grog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
