Built as a masterful tribute to the iconic Gibson EB-3, this \"lawsuit-era\" SG-style bass delivers the massive, thumping low-end and vintage mojo that put 1970s Japanese craftsmanship on the map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage Tone Meets Modern Playability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bass is a true player’s dream. It retains its highly coveted original electronics, including the massive neck-position \"mudbucker\" for foundation-shaking lows, paired with a snappy mini-humbucker at the bridge for punch and clarity. Opening the control cavity reveals period-correct, unmolested wiring with original 500k pots that still roll smooth and noise-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo take this vintage workhorse to the next level, it features a highly practical player's upgrade: a high-mass Fernandes brass bridge. This resolves the infamous intonation and sustain issues found on original 2-point and 3-point vintage bridges, offering you superior tuning stability, endless sustain, and reliable intonation gig after gig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Vibe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis instrument is in Very Good vintage condition.
