Description
Exact Year: 1968 Brand: Gibson


Selling a 1968   Serial number 518156 cherry red EBO 30in scale bass with factory hardshell case.  For the bass' age is in very good condition.  No fret ware, and extremely straight neck.  The common bump marks and scartches, with some finish checking.  Had been dropped at some point, and put a dent on the edge below the control plate (pic inclosed).  No structural damage or pieces of the mahogany broken off or repaired. Philippine Mahogany body and neck with rosewood fingerboard.  All parts appear original, as well as the factory "bass mute".  Plays great and in tune.  This would be great for those who like short scale, and given it's extremely light weight, would be good for a small frame or a woman.  Extremely easy to play.   Vintage guitar sellers guide 2016 shows this bass at the high of $1800-1900.  Best of luck
