Gibson EB Bass, Satin Natural

Full Description

Immense playability

An instrument you'll never stop playing. Gibson truly have created a masterpiece in terms of playing experience with the EB 4-String. Every second you spend with one in your hands will be a joy. A rounded maple neck provides magnificent comfort, as the smooth profile will fit perfectly into your frethand. Not only does this eliminate cramp and make playing the instrument all the more enjoyable, it also means you're easily able to slide up and down the neck at speed for those fast, exhilarating basslines. Ideal when you want to release scintillating dynamism into your music.

Aggressive sound

Ideal for rock music. The EB's ability to deliver every note with a sharp, punchy quality gives you more power and aggression than you've ever experienced in a bass guitar before. Loaded with a set of Gibson EB humbuckers, these noise-cancelling pickups give you remarkable clarity. Your basslines will cut through any mix and sound exquisitely defined. The power that these pickups give you also make them well-suited for delivering exciting, intricate bass solos. You've never rocked more.

Magnificent tone

A wide-reaching sonic palette. The ability to deliver notes with fantastic sound quality at both ends of the scale is essential in a good bass guitar. The Gibson EB's marvellous tonewood construction ensures this, making the instrument supremely versatile. A swamp ash body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard give you warmth and definition in every note you play, whatever the pitch. Enjoy a low-end that booms, a mid-range that sizzles, and a high-end that sparkles with sharpness. Tonally superb.

A rock legend

Heritage. It might not be the first thing you're searching for when you're purchasing a bass. But when you realise just how integral this instrument has been in the history of rock music, you'll be assured of its amazing abilities. It was the go-to instrument of Trevor Bolder, the bassist for some of David Bowie's career-defining early work. He would play on groundbreaking albums such as Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, using the instrument to help Bowie forge his distinctive, world-conquering sound.

Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones often utilised an EB as the band became the greatest rock 'n' rollers in the world. Slade used one as they helped create the glam rock genre. An EB was present in the work of punk pioneers The Stooges, and in hard rock with Alice Cooper. Jermaine Jackson of The Jackson 5 even utilised one in making some of Motown's greatest hits. This truly is a bass guitar that has earned its status as a legend of the music industry. Lasting quality that never disappoints.

Modern, eye-catching style

Gorgeous and elegant. This music legend has been recreated with modern style and panache. The swamp ash body provides a beautiful, unique aesthetic with a natural grain pattern that remains visible beneath the guitar's finish. A stunning natural finish gives the guitar an authentic vibe. Finally, satin nitrocellulose lacquer applied to the bass gives it a glossy shimmer that makes it stand out even more, especially under stage lights. Brilliantly classy.
