Gibson released their first electric basses in the 1950s. Many of those designs featured extremely warm-sounding humbucking pickups and shorter scale lengths that gave them an identifiable voice that was immediately adopted by many bassists of the classic rock era. Throughout its history, the EB line has included 335-style semi-hollow construction, compact SG designs, and more. And they've been seen in the hands of such bass luminaries as Cream's Jack Bruce. The EB 4 Bass is the latest addition to this iconic line of instruments.
