Played finger style

Volume 10/10, tone 10/10. You can get more note definition if you play down by the bridge
Volume 10/10, tone 0/10. With the tone rolled down, you get a really deep dubby bass sound that is felt as much as heard. Terrific fun, and great live, but often barely audible on smaller speakers.

...and with a pick

Volume 10/10, tone 5/10. A great classic rock sound with much more attack than when played finger style

1966 Gibson EB-01973 WEM Dominator Bass Mk 1

Recorded with a Shure SM57 microphone, into an M-audio mobile pre USB interface.
The WEM Dominator Bass amplifier is very responsive to playing style. At middle volumes it can go from clean to overdriven depending on how hard you play.

Amp setting: channel 1, volume 5, bass 5, treble 5

volume 10/10, tone 10/10. Significant distortion, even with the amp at just 50% volume, especially, as here when played hard, with a pick.
volume 10/10, tone 10/10. Finger style, but still digging in for the overtones.

Amp in 'Bright' mode

volume 10/10, tone 10/10. . Played with a pick.

The clips were recorded with two amp configurations: Volume 5, Bass 5, Treble 5, and Volume 5, Bass 3, Treble 8. This small adjustment gives some extra clarity; useful for really bassy guitars like the Gibson EB0.
Recorded with a Shure SM57 microphone, into an M-audio mobile pre USB interface.

Neutral amp: volume 5, bass 5, treble 5

volume 10/10, tone 10/10. Finger style. This clip shows the tonal differences of this setup when played gently, and with more attack.
volume 10/10, tone 10/10. Played with a pick; there is plenty of snarl when you dig in.
volume 10/10, tone 0/10. Finger style. With the tone control at 0 the EB0 gives a nice fat, round tone.

brighter amp: volume 5, bass 3, treble 8

volume 10/10, tone 10/10. Played with a pick. This amp setting is considerably brighter than the previous one.
volume 10/10, tone 0/10. played with a pick. This configuration gives more note distinction than perhaps you'd expect from an EB0 with the tone rolled down.
volume 10/10, tone 0/10. Fingerstyle.

It's an oldie but a goody! I purchased this guitar in the late 80's or early 90's and I believe it's a 1968 but my memory isn't what it used to be and can't guarantee that. It's been sitting in my closet for a very long time and it will probably need a set-up. The instrument really growled when I did play it. It didn't come with a case when I purchased it but I purchased an Epiphone SG case for it. The bass weighs 7lbs 6oz. Please contact me with any questions you may have and I'll try to answer... more
