[eSGEe]

"Barn" find here in SWAMPAPOTAMAIA!

62 GIBSON EB-O ---OH!

--- modified (heavily) fretless -- no mudbucker --but loaded with EMG ACTIVE "P" bass pups.......aftermarket bridge of some unknown origin (IM thinking Schaller???)
its rough its beat it is DRIPPING with MOJO.......
P.O. says it did time on the nashville club circuit --- with the original owner--- and the Orlando and central Florida bar circuit recently---
ITs battle scared, war proven and FOGGIN FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
--its name has not divulged itself to me yet.......new shortscale flatwounds will be in Monday----it will get a FOOL cleaning and fresh rubber then .....the tone is NOT your average EB and its NOT a P bass ......unique voice for certain .......


its taken its rightful place among the "keeper" wall here in eSGEe Command Central.

Good on ya sir!! Congrats on the sweet addition!

When I went in to the shop to pick up my PRS, they had a 1963 hanging on the wall...all heavily checked up...asking $2500...too good for me. Someone had just thinned their herd of a couple of very cool basses(?).

I heard it was something like 2 packs of smokes, a Taco Bell coupon, and a twelve of PBR tallboys...but that was just hearsay...
