The New EB Bass

Get the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation with the Gibson EB 4-string Bass guitar. The EB Bass is sure to turn heads at your next gig with its sleek new body style. This 34" scale bass packs a punch with its ash body and maple neck. Gibson has taken time-tested bass design and matched it with a pair of newly designed pickups for big bass tone. From rock to funk to jazz, the Gibson EB Bass is ready to take on any style of music.

Gibson EB Bass 4-string Solidbody Electric Bass Guitar at a Glance:
  • Classic tonewoods for deep bass tones
  • Big bass tone from dual humbuckers
  • Hardware that ensures great playability gig after gig

Classic tonewoods for deep bass tones
The new EB Bass body is made from solid ash and finished in nitrocellulose lacquer. The ash body mixed with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard gives you that classic bass sound you want. The set-in neck brings a punchy sound with single-note clarity. Its comfortable rounded neck profile is perfect for those long gigs. Grab the new Gibson EB Bass and see what the fuss is about.

Big bass tone from dual humbuckers
Along with the all-new body design, Gibson gave the EB Bass a new set of humbucking pickups. Each pickup is coil-tapped for either humbucking or single-coil operation. A pair of volume controls let you dial in the perfect amount of each pickup to create full, big-bodied tones. The Gibson EB Bass delivers thundering humbucking tones and fat single-coil sounds making it perfect for any style you play.

Hardware that ensures great playability gig after gig
Besides premium tonewoods and great-sounding new pickups, the Gibson EB Bass features top of the line hardware that won't let you down. A Babicz full-contact bass bridge gives you amazing tonal transfer and is easily adjustable for perfect intonation. The PLEK-cut nut optimizes your sustain and keeps you in tune. Finish the Gibson EB Bass off with Grover tuners, and you have a bass to be reckoned with.

Awesome American Made Bass

Killer Humbuckers & Single Coil Jazz Bass in one! The bridge is the nicest, most rugged one I've ever seen on a Bass in this price range. American Made, beautiful satin finish. Sounds incredible.

Just Got this Bass after thinking on it for awhile. Have to say I really like it. The only negative I have right off the bat is the finish, some are going to like it others are not. Its not really glo... read more [+]ss like you might think on a Fender bass, it is a Satin like finish thats kind of shiny whisch does not fill in the wood grain, having said that to me it looks killer, much better than the pics. The feel is great really balanced, fast feeling neck, feels slightly wider than a Ibanez SR but Narrower than a P bass, no neck dive. The sound is great I played around with the coil splitting and the balance between the pickups, have to say you can dial in really soft lows to a powerful growl like a MM. I received it perfectly setup and IN TUNE out of the box, couldn't be happier. close [-]
