Part Lists for Gibson EB-0 Bass Guitar

Gibson bass guitars | EB-0 bass main page | technical information

Below are the lists of parts for the Gibson EB-0 bass, with part numbers and some limited description as recommended in three specific documents, as published by Gibson in 1965, 1971 and 1977. All three lists are just that: a list of components; a snapshot of a 'possible' EB-0. In actual fact, the components of all Gibson instruments were so fluid that there are plenty that do not fit exactly. And there are parts required for certain incarnations of the EB-0 that are not included in any of these lists at all. The 1971 and 1977 lists do suggest parts for what the call 'old-style' EB-0s; but in fact these are typically just lists of newer parts that are currently available and should work.
