Thanks. Please ask questions before bidding. ... more

It has earned its wonderful patina from years of playing, and it looks great. It has all the expected finish checking that you would expect to see on a guitar of this vintage. The second pick guard was ... more

Up for sale is a 60s Teisco short scale bass, the EB-120 Del Ray. All major components appear original as far as I can tell from other examples of this model, though as you can see it must've originally had an ashtray cover over the bridge that is long gone and the logo is also gone from the headstock. The tone / pickups in this thing just rule, no other way to put it - one of my favorite things about owning this bass has been watching jaws drop when I whip it out as a studio secret weapon, ... more

In great to near excellent condition. Has kill switch, two tone knobs, two volume knobs and pick up selector. With really cool vintage gig bag. From Fly Guitars site: When the EB3 was redesigned for 1972, Gibson were careful to make a less fragile bass. Some of the 1960s EB basses cracked easily when dropped, or knocked about a bit. The easily-broken mahogany neck had been replaced with a thicker three-piece maple one. It was given a thicker body, and a bigger headstock. It had a volute for neck... more
