1960's Norma EB470

A rare and funky short-scale bass from the golden era of Japanese guitar-making, this 1960s Norma EB470 is a vibey offset design with killer vintage tone and undeniable character. With its lightweight body, punchy dual single-coil pickups, and smooth-playing short-scale neck, this bass is perfect for garage rock, surf, blues, or lo-fi indie tones. The floating bridge and oversized tuners add to its unmistakable retro aesthetic, while the simple volume and tone controls keep it intuitive and responsive. Whether you’re looking for a unique vintage studio weapon or a fun, road-ready short-scale, this Norma EB470 is a standout piece.

Recently refretted for optimal playability, this bass is ready to deliver decades of smooth playing without compromise. The vintage black finish has aged beautifully, giving it that broken-in feel that only time can create, while the electronics are in great working order. Norma-branded instruments were built in Japan by some of the same manufacturers responsible for Teisco and Guyatone, making them cool, offbeat alternatives to mainstream vintage designs. If you’re after a distinctive, well-playing vintage bass with fresh frets and undeniable mojo, this EB470 is a serious score.
