{"product_id":"gibson-eb-1-electric-bass-guitar-1954-2665","title":"Gibson EB-1 Electric Bass Guitar (1954)","description":"Gibson EB-1 Model Electric Bass Guitar (1954), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, natural finish, mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, original brown hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust about the coolest electric bass ever designed�and one of the most eccentric! The \"Gibson Electric Bass\" (the EB-1 name was not used until 1958, when the EB-2 debuted) first issued in 1953 is one of the earliest solidbody basses, and owes nothing but general concept to the slightly earlier (late 1951) Fender Precision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEB-1's are the clearest sounding of the 30\" scale Gibson basses�the large brown-covered pickup is a single coil (the huge coil is mounted on its side) and has more mid\/high content than the 1958 and later humbucking versions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are very pleased to have TWO original 1950's Gibson Electric Basses currently in stock (see our stock #2622).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 44 1\/4 in. (112.4 cm.), 11 1\/4 in. (28.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 3\/4 in. (4.4 cm.) deep. Scale length is 30 1\/2 in. (775 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bass is very clean for its era, and includes the original pink-lined brown HSC and the endpin allowing stand-up play. 100% stock and unaltered. Original plastic jack plate is still in place but is broken and would need to be replaced for convenience in playing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA really nice example of a rare and desirable bass.
