Gibson EB Bass 5-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 EB Bass body is made from solid swamp 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. A 12th fret anniversary banner inlay celebrates Gibson's 120th Anniversary. Grab the Gibson EB Bass and see what the fuss is about.

Big bass tone from dual humbuckers

Along with an innovative 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 pickups, the 5-string 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.
