Just a small selection of musicians who have used the Gibson EB2 electric bass over the years.
Comedy act, the Three Twins. Al Douglas plays a custom order white Gibson EB2 bass, and Bill Bigger, a white Gibson ES350TD more (taken from Gibson Gazette July / August 1960) The bass is obviously an early example as it has the smaller headstock and back-facing banjo tuners. Despite the fact this bass had a custom finish, it is not a lefty - it is strung as a right handed instrument. Was it just held this way round for a symmetrical photo? Or did Al Douglas play 'upside down', Albert King style? comment
Jimmy Page with the Yardbirds and a Gibson EB2 bass; most likely a 1964 or early 1965 example. Page played bass, albeit briefly, for the Yardbirds in 1966 after Paul Samwell Smith (who played an Epiphone Rivoli) left the band.
Bob Daisley played numerous Gibson bass guitars throughout his career - he is pictured here with the EB2. Read more in the FlyGuitars Bob Daisley interview.
Glenn Cornick with Jethro Tull and Gibson EB2 bass. Glenn's patronage of Gibson basses was well established with his use of the EB-3 and Thunderbird basses in the late 1960s, however his use of the EB-2 is less known - with good reason. Read more about Glenn's thoughts on this bass here: Glenn Cornick and the EB2.
Suzi Quatro with Gibson EB2 bass. Again Suzi used several different Gibson basses, mostly the short scale models. Read more about Suzi's thoughts on the EB2 here: Suzi Quatro and her EB2.

1968 Gibson EB2D Bass with Hard Shell Case
Bridgeport, West Virginia, 263**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
$3700
This Gibson EB2D bass is in very good condition. We listedit as "very good" because of the neck repairs, but if not for thatissue, it probably could be considered "excellent " The best we candetermine, the bass is a 1968. The pots are clearly marked 1967, and the dateranges for the bass is 1966-1969. Also has the mini humbucker in bridge. Itappears they only made 2000 of these with the mini humbuckers throughout theentire 60's. It has had the common repair where the headstock meets the neck, and... more
1968 Gibson EB2D Bass with Hard Shell Case
Glen Ellyn, Illinois, 601**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
$2200
This is a 1968 Gibson EB2D. There is a head stock repair made at some point in its history. The body and rest of the neck is in great condition. There are finish checkings across the body but that's to be expected
That mudbucker in the neck is wooly! And the bridge has bite! The switches and knobs work as they should with a little scratchiness as you use them. Aside from that you won't notice it.
Comes with non original case
