surfguy13 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Up for grabs my old EB3. Lovely bass, huge sound and all working as it should. The EB3 is in pretty good condition for a guitar that's nearly 40 years old and it weighs in at 9.2lb which means it isn't a back-breaker either. Everything works perfectly and the action, for me, is pretty good. The varitone functions well (I think!!) - all the selections certainly provide a different sound and assume these are as intended. The pots are dated 1973 and the serial number is: 106775 The case is a home-made job but pretty damn solid and light as well. It's as strong as a standard case. Fits the bass well too so there's a minimum of movement. Tuners are the original Schallers and work well, no tuning issues at all. It's fitted with Fender short-scale strings. Frets are pretty good too and they are original. No issues in terms of excessive wear. One of the bridge saddles appears not to be original but it works perfectly and I’m sure it’s no major issue to find a spare saddle or even make one? I would consider a trade for a Fender P, ideally a 70s, or a Les Paul (guitar) or similar with 2 humbuckers. Asking [s]£950[/s] [s] £900[/s] [b]£850[/b] Happy to ship anywhere. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like any more photos. Edited March 22, 2013 by surfguy13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm pretty sure it's a walnut but I guess it could be a well faded cherry - the back of the neck is much more cherry than the body. I essence it looks like a clear lacquer over a lovely walnut coloured mahogany. Some of the 70s walnut finishes were truly 'orrible but this is quite nice.....

surfguy13 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi Guys The EB3 sold some time ago and I have been trying toi find the post to confirm it is sold but have failed miserably. I used the search facility which only brought up a 1970 EB3 so I assumed it had been deleted. Sorry..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
