Reissue of the Epiphone Newport Bass from the Sixties

With the Epiphone Newport Bass California Coral Epiphone revives the rare Newport Student Bass, which made its debut in 1961, as part of the Original Collection. Based on the historic specifications, the practical four-string naturally comes in a set-neck design with a short 30.5" scale length, which not only contributes to the drizzling playing characteristics, but also significantly supports the rich vintage tone. At the bass amp, Epiphone Bass Sidewinder and TB Pro pickups deliver amazingly flexible tones whose traditional character is always apparent. Of course, Epiphone completes the Newport Bass with authentic add-on parts in accurate vintage style.

EPIPHONE Newport Bass California Coral
Authentic vintage vibes in look and sound: the Epiphone Newport Bass California Coral is a reissue of the rare Epiphone Shortscale Bass from the early sixties.

The symmetrical mahogany body and the comfortable "Medium C" mahogany neck are glued together.

Set-neck construction with 30.5" scale length

In the construction of the Newport Bass Epiphone naturally follows the specifications of the original from the beginning of the wild sixties. Accordingly, the mahogany body and the glued mahogany neck together with the 30.5" short Shortscale scale length (775 mm) create the basis for a full vintage sound with a powerful bass foundation. The reduced string tension due to the short scale length and the pleasantly grippy "Medium C" neck profile also promise buttery smooth playing characteristics in all positions of the 20-fret Indian Laurel fingerboard.

EPIPHONE Newport Bass California Coral Body
Epiphone Bass Sidewinder and TB Pro pickups combine with passive electrics for rich vintage sounds.

Bass Sidewinder and TB Pro pickups

The Epiphone Newport Bass elicits first-class vintage sounds with irresistible warmth from the bass amplifier. The Epiphone Bass Sidewinder pickup in the neck position promises extremely rich tones with richly pushing basses and low mids, while the TB Pro Bridge pickup convinces with a surprisingly powerful assertiveness and wiry presence. In addition to the balance pot for stepless mixing of the pickup signals, the bass guitar's classic passive electrics feature general volume and tone pots for precise adjustment of the sound.

EPIPHONE Newport Bass California Coral Headstock
The headstock of the Newport Bass carries die-cast tuning machines for reliable tuning stability.

Vintage style hardware

Last but not least, reliable attachments in the tradition-conscious Vintage-Style complete the features of Epiphone's Newport Bass California Coral. The Historic Claw Tailpiece, into which the ballends can be conveniently hooked, guides the strings over the Historic Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose adjustment options guarantee exact intonation and comfortable string action. On the headstock with the classic Epiphone "Bikini" logo, precise die-cast tuners also ensure high tuning stability of the Shortscale bass.
