Shipping data for Gibson EB0, EB0L and EB0F bass guitars

In the CMI and Norlin periods of Gibson ownership, the EB-0 was Gibson's best selling bass; 22,262 instruments over 20 years. 1969/1970 were the peak years; interestingly late '69 saw the change of ownership from CMI to Norlin, but also the change to the slotted headstock, and the introduction of the long scale EB-0L (see a typical 1969 EB-0, and the 1970 slotted headstock model)

The EB-0 variant with the smallest shipping numbers was the natural (alder-bodied) bass shipped in 1972 - have a look at one of these rare EBs here Natural finish EB-0L.

In 1972, the solid-body EB range was redesigned again (see a typical 1972 EB-0) with a much chunkier body, maple neck, and a repositioned pickup. However, in the following years sales plummeted. Whether this was related to the re-modelling, changes in bass 'fashion', economic conditions, or the introduction of new models, is pure conjecture, though in probability all of these factors played a part.

Gibson EB-0 with Slotted Headstock

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

Gibson EB-0 bass from circa 1966. Serial number dates to Kalamazoo, MI, USA, 66-68, buts pots are dated 48th week of 1965, so '66 is very likely.

Truss rod is free and working perfectly with lots of adjustment left, though it shouldn't need any unless a major ... more
