RCK-Foto Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I´ve got an awsome sounding EB-0 in my collection. Since I purchased it I wonder when it was built. Serial is 2560. So I suppose it´s a ´61. Someone told me he thinks it´s a ´67/´68. Pick up and bridge are changed. Could you help me finding out? Thanks a lot.

rd_artist Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 it's impossible to tell for sure, your bass has been modded,but an educated guess would be around 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goingdownslow Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It looks like it has the earlier neck pocket which would make it pre-66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wonder about the serial number which would date it as ´61. Maybe the pots are original and may give a clue? I´ll post a pic within the next days.

Sorry for being late..... here is a foto of the neck/body joint (sorry for the small size but my upload space is narrow) Gibson changed the neck/body joint around 65/66, yours is the earlier model.

Gibson neck joints. so it is an early 60s bass. that´s what I thought according to the inked number on the back of the headstock. thank you so much for your help and the link!! best regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
