Here’s a beautiful example of Greco’s early “lawsuit-era” craftsmanship: a 1972–73 Greco EB-350 SG Bass, built in Japan during the golden age of Matsumoku/FujiGen production.

Scale Length: Approximately 33.5" (long scale)

Construction: Mahogany body, bolt-on neck, rosewood fingerboard

Pickups:
Currently fitted with a replacement bridge pickup; the original bridge pickup is included in the case along with the original neck “mudbucker.”

Hardware: Chrome bridge & pickup covers intact, original closed-back tuners

Electronics: One pot replaced (modern), but the original pot is included in the case

Condition

Good vintage condition. Minor body wear consistent with age, veneer in the cutaways lifting slightly but intact. Structurally solid.

Case

Original period-correct hard case with vintage stickers (Uriah Heep, Betty Smith) – a rare survivor.

Why This Bass?

Greco’s early 1970s instruments are increasingly sought after worldwide. This EB-350 stands out as a rarer long-scale version of the classic EB-style bass, offering improved string tension and clarity compared to the more common short-scale models.

With its original case, original bridge pickup, and original pot all preserved, this is both a great player’s bass and a solid collector’s piece.
