Your cart is empty.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.

I have owned the 60’s version and Gibson EB basses, and this is mostly an improvement over those with a few exceptions. The quality control is an issue- improper intonation, pickup needed to be mounted with foam to keep it from leaning on one side, tuning machines ( which are junk) were all loose. The strings are really awful- new set of Stringjoy or labella will fix that. Neck is great, tones are lovely and it balances well. It uses full-sized pots and paint looks nice. I really like it, but be prepared to do a little work to it or take to a luthier to set up.
