Newest addition to the EB legacy
Gibson released their first electric basses in the 1950s. Many of those designs featured extremly warm-sounding humbucking pickups and shorter scale lengths that gave them an identifiable voice that was immediately adopted by many bassists of the classic rock era. Throughout its history, the EB line has included 335-style semi-hollow construction, compact SG designs, and more. And they've been seen in the hands of such bass luminaries as Cream's Jack Bruce. The EB 5 Bass is the latest addition to this iconic line of instruments.
Thoroughly modern construction
The Gibson EB 5 Bass 2017 is crafted with a very modern look and feel, which is ideal for today's players who are looking for clarity, punch, and power. The bass's 34" scale length is the most popular design because of its balance of playing comfort and punchy tone. The bass is crafted with a swamp ash body and maple neck that add huge amounts of low and highs to the bass's character. And you'll find a genuine Babicz Full Contact bass bridge anchoring the strings for yet another level of singing sustain and stability.
Simple to use electronics
The EB 5 Bass 2017 is a very versatile instrument and eliciting that wide range of tones is incredibly easy to access. The dual Gibson EB humbucking pickups push a lot of power to ensure you receive maximum low-end punch from the passive electronics. There are many fans of passive designs at Sweetwater. And the EB 5 Bass's dual volume and single tone setup boasts the dynamics and warmth that can't be achieved any other way.
