Lungimsam Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Could anyone take and post a pic of your 60's EBO or EB3 from this angle? Thanks. Want to see if the 60's models' top horn tapers like this SG. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goingdownslow Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I seem to think they were not as deep after they changed the neck pocket and went to brushpole necks. To me, this is what gave the EB0/3 models their appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for the picture. Which year is it? I like the deeper bevels and tapered horn like yours is. What do you mean by "brushpole"? Sorry for my ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Pictured here are a 1968 EB-0 & a 1969 EB-3. In the late sixties, when they changed to the darker colored cherry, they also cut corners on the bevel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yes, the bevels are shallower in the late '60s models. Wonder why they did that? But the horns are still tapered as seen in your pics. I like the darker color, too. I was wondering about the horns being tapered. I like that feature but could never see because most pics you see are from the front and back. You definitely have the Gibson bass collection! And I knew you would reply! Thanks! I am hoping my first Gibson bass will arrive by early next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I hope you enjoy your new bass when it comes, also hope you don't wake up with the bad case of GAS I had! I see your posting on Jules sight now also.......... I've been on that one & "The Last Bass Outpost" also. Two of the few places Gibson bass players seem to be plentiful.
