1967 Gibson EB-2 Vintage Semi-Hollow Short Scale Bass Cherry w/ Case

Up for sale, a 1967 Gibson EB-2 in Cherry in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Finished in gloss Cherry nitro lacquer, this EB-2 is the bass counterpart to the ES-335, introduced in 1958 with the same thinline double-cutaway body and maple construction, outfitted with a powerful, thick-sounding "Mudbucker" mounted in the neck position. Strung with 45-105 flatwound strings on the 30 1/2” scale, this bass delivers pillowy low-end woof and deep thump. The flatwounds add a smooth, percussive note attack, and the push-button Baritone switch toggles to a scooped, punchier sound. Weighing 8lbs 15oz, this EB-2 has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 flatwound strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Cherry nitro lacquer finish shows broad finish checking, particularly on top, with a couple tiny doweled and touched-up holes for a surface-mount bridge pickup. There are a few small areas of finish chipping around the controls and hardware, with various minor marks and scuffs from use on the body as a whole. The nitro gloss on the neck profile is smooth and inviting to the palm, with a stinger at the heel end of the neck.

An Epiphone-branded hardshell case is included.
