Shipping totals for Gibson EB-2 bass guitar

The Gibson EB-2 shipping totals, as published, are not complete, as there were certainly EB-2Ds available in 1971 and 1972; the last time the model was included in price lists was October 1972, although numbers shipped would have been far smaller than in previous years. Furthermore, there are most likely more than 12 Walnut EB-2s, and there are certainly dual pickup examples.

Although the figures above are split by finish, they do not tell the complete story; the bass with model designation EB-2 (as opposed to EB-2N,EB-2C or EB-2W) is generally regarded as having Sunburst finish. Sparkling Burgundy is missing, from the table above, and, as this did not have it's own model designation, was presumably included in the EB-2 row. Likewise, the small numbers of basses in custom finishes (black, white etc).

The EB-2 was certainly popular in the mid-sixties, outselling the EB-3 in all years between 1964-1968, and even the EB-0 in 67-68. As the influence of beat diminished and rock took over, EB-0 and EB-3 sales soared, and EB-2 sales floundered. Gibson donated 150 EB2s to the US Army in Viet Nam in February 1970, although it is unclear whether these instruments are included in these shipping figures.

Vintage Gibson EB-2 Modified Bass EB2 ES bass Electric Bass 1960??s

Brisbane, California, 940**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$1300

A really cool bass that was always in this shape. Owned for about 5 years and planned to redo it. Im more of a guitarist so Im thinning the heard. Looks great. I think the bridge is a dimarzio and there have been other pots once installed. The switches seem to be boosts for the pickups. And Volume for each pickup. No tone option. Another routes on the back. Gibson sticker gone. Some screws missing on the back and rusty input screws but everything stays together. Was also like that

1958 Gibson EB-2 1st year Museum Quality 100% original its 1 of a kind & Minty !

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 333**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$9995

This is a truly superb original example of one of the rarer Gibson electric basses: the first-generation semi-hollow EB-2. The EB-2 in general is not a overly rare bass, but these earliest models built in the debut year were sold in only small numbers; many more were built in 1964-68 when production was at its peak. The ES-335 guitar from 1958 is one of Gibson??s most treasured and sought after instruments; this matching bass is actually considerably rarer, if not as highly in demand ! The EB-2 ... more

Gibson bass guitar early EB 2-point bridge - full up, everything included

Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7***, UNITED KINGDOM

£68

Original Gibson bass 2-point saddle / bridge with adjusters and mount bolts, clamp screws and Allen key
From a 1970 EBO bass (now upgraded with the superb Hipshot product). Not altered / re-machined as many are. Nylon saddles have been lowered a fraction, but that's fine because you can adjust the bridge up a bit to compensate unless you want ultra-low action.
Very difficult to find original complete bridges for the EB's these days.

Greco SAB120 Bass guitar 1980s (Gibson EB2 copy)

Cheltenham, GL52***, UNITED KINGDOM

£1016

This is a pretty rare bass from the famous 1980s 'Mint Collection' range made for Greco by Fuji-Gen - they don't come up for sale very often. Some of the later (from 1990?) models are designated as 'Clear Sound Project' but, judging from the headstock inlay and the tuners, this is a 'Mint Collection'. The serial number dates it to 1985
Obviously, it's a very good copy of a Gibson EB2 semi - acoustic bass, with the exception that it is a long, 34" scale rather than the 30" of the original. ... more
