FrankersD Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hello I'm new here. I joined the forum because I want to sell my cherry red Gibson EB3 bass. It's in good condition, has some nicks and scratches, and loads of character. Overall it's a beautiful instrument which has excellent tone. I bought it six years ago from Vintage and Rare Guitars on Denmark Street. I have had it recently valued at £1500 so I want to sell it for that or thereabouts. I also have a purple-lined hard case (minus handle). If you're interested the serial number is 737722. I love the bass but I need to liquidate some of my assets at the moment and to be honest I'm not playing it much. It deserves a good home. Please spread the word to anyone who might be interested and if so PM me. I have lots of photos and I live in north London. Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 That is stunning! Never played one myself but Trevor Bolder who played with David Bowie back in the '70s used an EB3 and I always loved that 'woody tone' he used to get from it.. Is this the short scale or the long scale model? Whatever, it's a classic bass and one we don't often see here on Basschat so it's a real treat! Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankersD Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks man. It is a short scale, yes. And I don't sell it lightly. The dial gives you that great Free tone but turning it to position 4 really blows the room up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I absolutely love these due to the Jack Bruce sound, and would have bitten your arm off for this not too long ago before I bought my Les Paul bass. Have a free bump though for a very pretty old thing! :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmassarone Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Is your bass still for sale? Thanks in advance, Dan [quote name='FrankersD' post='532725' date='Jul 5 2009, 02:04 AM']Hello I'm new here.
