A rich sound rooted in musical history

This bass not only has a retro look, but it’s also deeply rooted in rock history. Legendary musicians such as Jack Bruce of Cream, Andy Fraser of Free, and Jim Lea of Slade have played the Gibson EB-3, a testament to the resonance of its sound in memorable performances.
