What is gibson eb-0 bass?

The Gibson EB-0 bass was first introduced in 1959 as a more affordable alternative to the EB-1 bass guitar. The EB-0 features a single humbucking pickup, a short scale length of 30.5 inches, and a solid mahogany body with a glued-in mahogany neck. The fretboard is made from rosewood with dot inlays and has 20 frets.

The EB-0 was popularized in the 1960s by rock and blues bassists such as Jack Bruce of Cream and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones. Its warm, round tone has been used in many classic recordings and continues to be a favorite among bass players today.

In addition to the standard model, other variations of the EB-0 were produced over the years, such as the EB-0L (left-handed version) and the EB-0F (fretless version). The EB-0 also underwent some design changes in the 1970s, including a switch to a bolt-on neck and a switch to a dual humbucking pickup configuration. However, the original EB-0 design remains a favorite among bass players and collectors.
