DESCRIPTION:
Lawman Guitars is all about this Bass....

A very special Bass guitar. A really cool, well Professionally used 1965 Gibson EB3 with a non original Hard shell Case!

This cool bass guitar was played by a Pro Country Player from here in Des Moines Iowa.

There are no finger divots, and the original frets still have plenty of life left in them.

Had Flat Wounds on it when I got it. I am guessing that was usual setup…Great frets…Check those pics…

These cool guitars were originally cherry but as you can see, she really wanted a brown one..lol…

Not a Pro refin at all but I cleaned it up, a lot … I will let the new owner decide to leave it as is or spend the dough on getting the finish corrected.

Its been modified over the years. Besides the refin, it was repotted back in the 1970’s, had the neck off and neck bolts installed…the good news the neck angle is perfect.

Strap button holes on both upper bout points and some non original screws. Other than that, its all original.

Great Gibson Pickups, knobs, bridge,cover, Tuners, Truss rod cover, pickguard and back covers. My Tech set this cool player up with great playing low action. It’s a lot of fun to play…

These are very hard to date. They made the Gibson EB3 Basses from 1961 to 1979. I was told this is a 1965.

I checked lots of info on the web and it certainly fits that year, but the serial number doesn’t help me so I know its earlier than 1967 as they changed the bridges then. How much earlier, I am not sure.

The bridge cover is nickel which also dates it pre 1966 and the nut is 1 11/16ths which went narrower in 1966…There is all my help to date it..

The bass has separate volume and tone settings for both pickups.

The original Silver top knobs are really cool. It has the 4 tone settings that works as it should. It gives you each pickup separately, then both together with the tone knobs working and one that the tone knobs don’t function.

Hard to describe but the settings give you great tonal settings to work with.

The Pickups sound huge! Love the neck..its is massive in size and growl!

I have to mention that this was played by a Lady Bass Player. She played with her husband in a Country Group that played Professionally all over Iowa. I was able to sell her husbands heavily modified Gibson Es250 as well. Lots of stories these instruments could tell.

I am including the shown "Dona" Leather strap. It’s a beautiful strap that was custom made for her. It would be great if your name was Dona, but you could also reverse the strap and have the name on the back side. Very cool strap and it has strap locks that fit on the guitar strap locks.

The non original case fits the guitar perfectly. Very nice case but like the guitar, its been around. All latches and hinges work, the original handle still is on it an no funny smells. Its an old case but pretty sure its not original. It has probably held this bass since the 1970’s so I’m sending it with the bass. No sense splitting these two up now!
