£430.00

Product Description

The Epiphone Newport Bass is an all-original design that debuted in 1961. The modern Newport Bass pays tribute to that rare vintage model while offering refinements to meet the needs of today’s bassists. The 30.5” scale length and comfortable Medium C profile make it suitable for players with a wide range of hand sizes, while the symmetrical double-cutaway body ensures excellent access to every fret. The Bass Sidewinder neck pickup provides rich, deep tones, while the TB PRO in the bridge position delivers brighter timbres. The two pickups are paired with master volume and tone controls and a blend knob so you can get precisely the tonal balance you desire. Available with a classic Cherry finish and three custom colors - California Coral, Sunset Yellow, and Pacific Blue.

Smooth and shapable tones

This Newport Bass comes equipped with two pickups that are located at the bridge and the neck of the model. In the neck position is the Bass Sidewinder, which produces rich and deep overtones, whilst the addition of the TB PRO at the bridge ensures your overall sound has a bright timbre. Wanting to switch it up? Also included on this model are a range of controls that allows you to shape your sound in order to suit your style. A master volume, blend knob, and master tone all combine to ensure the Newport can handle a variety of genres. Unleash your creativity.

Sculpted for perfection

Each and every detail of this bass guitar has been carefully sculpted in order to provide you with the best playing experience possible. The body is sculpted from mahogany and crafted into a symmetrical shape, which offers an excellent access to the upper frets. Not only does the mahogany offer a lightweight and comfortable performance, but it also delivers an incredible sound, producing rich, deep, and warm tones. This has been paired with a matching mahogany neck and a tonally compatible fingerboard, which has been sculpted from Indian laurel, which adds an exceptional balance.
