Gibby, the serial number on my EBO is 619863. What can you tell me about it? I also have a picture of my ebo if you want it for your site.

that means its a 70 or a 71... you have a slothead , right? slotheads were made from 69-71 & the 6xxxxx SN`s were from either 66 to early 69 , mid to late 70 to 72 or 74 to 75... you have a low 6xxxxx SN slothead, so Id say its a mid-late 1970 EB-0, nylon saddles on the bridge, maybe a "Made in USA" stamp on the back of the headstock? (pre-70`s didnt have the stamp)... & I do believe yours was made before they moved the pup away from the neck... am I right? 
check it out...

Yeah Fenders are good basses. ESP and Ibanez represents everything I hate when it comes to instraments....design, quality, sound, playablity etc...

I'll give 'em one! In what year did they add TB-Plus pickups to a Gibson, and what model was it?

I'm not too much of a fan of Fender, myself. Hate Ibanez, and because of my brother I hate Epi's as well.
