I have un-covered my bass that I purchased over 30 years ago (mid-70's) and re-kindeled my interest in playing. Since I discovered this wonderful sight, I am trying to find out more information about my bass. Although the classic question is "how much is it worth", I'm more interested in information on the bass. I have looked through this forum and found nothing posted. Was this bass a "bust", a "gem" or something in-between? I'm a novice at best and would appreciate learning from other members. Thanks for taking time to read this post.

the 2261 Solid Sound Bass (EB-3 copy) looked to me to be one of the better EB-3 copies. General construction was a little better, and more "solid" ha ha...

They don't surface all that often really. One recently sold at one of my local shops for $200 I think. usually go for around the same on eBay.

We'd love to see pictures of your bass! If there's nothing posted here yet it's because you're the first person to show up with one.

I hope this doesn't post twice. I timed out the first time I tried to post this.

If your bass has been sitting for 30 years, you may want to get new strings and a pro sertup. You would be supprised how much that can improve your playing.

I think the address is too long to us BBCode. I tried on another site with the same result....

Here's a HTML page with the pics....
