omvibes Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Lovely condition Cherry Red short scale EB3, from 1974 or 1975 I believe (although I'm happy to be corrected by anyone with more knowledge than myself). I bought this about five years ago from the current Take That/ Rick Wakeman/ It Bites bass player (lovely guy, I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning this connection), was used by me for a couple of years at some practices and gigs, but since then has been kept in dry storage. Its in great condition, as the photos show. A few scratches and marks, but no 'belt rash' etc, as far as I can see. No neck repairs or anything like that. Frets look to have a lot of use left in them. Everything works fine, as far as I remember - its not been touched for three years! Its all original, apart from the NOS bridge cover and selection dial, and the knobs - I also have the original chicken knobs. It also comes with a Gibson case which I bought seperately - it cost me over £100- its a little too big for the bass, but nonetheless the bass fits just fine inside. I'll also include a soft case with backstraps for when you need to take it on your back. I'm looking for £1000, which I think is a reasonable price for the whole package - the last Eb3 I saw on Ebay went for almost 1.1k, and that was for the bass itself, and nothing more. I'm looking for an Ampeg SVT 1 x 15 bass cab, so a trade involving one of those may be of interest. I'm based in Sussex, near Gatwick. If seriously interested - and please, only serious enquiries, no dreamers/ 'I'll have the money in six months, when I've sold....' types - you're very welcome to come and try it out, although you'll need to bring your own amplification, or I am happy to meet in London or the south-east, within reason. If you're interested give me a call, 07941 806501, no emails please. Thanks, Oli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omvibes Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 :-)) but it does mean that it was well looked after before I got my grubby mitts on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omvibes Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks for your kind comment, Stag. It is indeed a lovely bass, but my playing days bass-wise have ended, hence the need to move it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
