Teisco EB18 1960's - Sunburst

A killer vintage short-scale bass with undeniable ‘60s Japanese charm, this Teisco EB-18 in classic sunburst delivers fat, punchy low-end with a raw, lo-fi edge that makes it perfect for garage rock, punk, and surf-inspired tones. Featuring a lightweight, offset body, a fast-playing short-scale neck, and a single high-output pickup, this bass has a thick, thumping tone with just the right amount of grit and growl. The floating bridge and oversized tuners add to its unmistakable retro charm, while the simple volume and tone controls keep things intuitive and responsive. Whether you’re after a studio secret weapon or a vibey vintage player, the EB-18 is a short-scale with serious mojo.

This bass has recently been refretted, ensuring smooth playability and long-term reliability, making it ready to go for years to come. The sunburst finish has aged beautifully, with just the right amount of wear to showcase its vintage appeal, while the electronics are fully functional. Teisco basses from this era are becoming harder to find, and this EB-18 is a great example of Japan’s bold and unique approach to instrument design. If you're looking for a short-scale bass that stands out visually and sonically, with fresh frets and tons of vibe, this one is ready to go.
