A very rare opportunity to obtain a short scale Greco EB-500 bass in a great condition. This is a November 1977 build and both pick-ups are fully operational and sound great. The neck is as good and straight as we have seen on an EB, even with the flatwounds it has been strung with for most of its life (not the same set!)

 

These are Maxon built PU-114 and PU-115 pick-ups, and both are humbuckers and are in fine health - the mudbucker making the Hall shake. The bridge unit has a fair bit of punch too - together they sound fantastic.

 

Whilst looking pristine from the front, it does have a beauty spot on the top edge where a big chunk of finish has met with an object that removed it. The owner at the time covered the scar with varnish and there is no risk of it getting worse, nor is there any risk of scratching yourself on any edge.

A lovely old bass, in great original condition - fully serviced and ready for service. When it arrived, the pots were a little scratchy, and have cleaned up very well with some Deoxit. If between the time of writing, and a sale, the pots give me cause for concern again, I will, with the next owner's consent, replace them with identical new ones which won't affect the price, but will cast doubt on my "all original" statement.

 

I am not, never have been, and will never be a competent bass player - the demo video is limited to proving it works and what it sounds like.
