Classic short-scale bass design with revamped appointments for modern players.
The Epiphone Newport bass is an all-original design that debuted in 1961. The modern short-scale Newport bass pays tribute to that rare vintage model while also offering refinements to meet the needs of today's bassists. The 30.5" scale length and comfortable Medium C profile make it suitable for a wide range of players, while the symmetrical double-cutaway body ensures unhindered access to every fret. The Bass Sidewinder neck pickup provides rich, deep tones, while the TB PRO in the bridge delivers brighter timbres. The two pickups are paired with master volume and tone controls, along with a blend knob for getting a precise tonal balance.
