Any truth to this one? Yes Album/Gibson ?

This was posted on TB, and thought I'd bring it home....

A 6 string Gibson EB6 that Chris used on the YES ALBUM?

This is a new one on me!

Anyone?

First I've heard of it. Missing a string saddle too.

Probably more like Steve Howe using one on "The Steve Howe Album"

I'd love to have an EB-6 but I would run out of arms and legs and children to sell...

i have a pic of howe with one possibly in a foto session with his other collection. will look for it. was taken early '80's me thinks ! he was holding the headstock near his face. had rick/gibson kluson keys.

Never heard that one before. I know Steve Howe likes his EB-4 and it appears on his solo stuff, along with his '74 4001, but I can't think of any part of The Yes Album where Chris would have used this bass. I don't doubt that he owned it...

The Steve Howe Guitar Book shows his EB-6.

so if squire had access to howe's guitars...anything is possible, but i think it belonged to howe, thus the pics we've seen. and, was that a one-off ? he's the only human i've seen with one. they used lots of weird stuff to make tracks with on the albums that we don't really know about. maybe even a set of spoons, perhaps ?! who knows. i think steve would know this answer more than chris as he doesn't expound on things as much, giving less room for errors or fantasy. btw...there were supposed plans for a squire guitar book at some point in the '80's as well as an entwistle book.

he's the only human i've seen with one.

So, what other lifeforms have you seen with one?

i can't divulge this information at this time...

There was one on the bay a while ago.

I contacted the seller and it is still for sale, the reserve is high but probably the going rate for these rare birds.

the instrument i saw was an sg shaped bass with rick/gibson klusons in dark stain mahogany. still looking for the pic...i have it somewhere.
