4-string Electric Bass Guitar with Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Indian Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Pacific Blue

Epiphone’s 1961 Classic Returns

Epiphone is throwing it back in time with the Newport Bass Guitar — back to 1961 to be exact. After all, that’s when the first all-original Newports hit the shelves. This marvelous modern model pays tribute to the rare vintage model that started it all. Its unique body shape sends out waves of vintage appeal while also making for a comfortable playing experience. This rockin’ Newport sports a body and neck constructed from mahogany that’s full of warmth and sustain. The electronics situated on the Newport comprise two humbuckers that output plenty of rich tones and a set of knobs to control volume, tone, and blend. The musical bottom line? You’ll turn heads with an Epiphone Newport bass.

Classic meets contemporary appeal

The Epiphone Newport starts off strong with a tonewood collection including warm and organic mahogany for the body and neck plus an Indian Laurel fingerboard. The 30.5-inch scale length and medium “C” profile on the Newport facilitate easy fretting for hands of all sizes. And no fret will escape you, thanks to the Newport’s symmetrical double-cutaway body that offers unfettered access to the highest frets. The finishing vintage touches on this modern model include a Historic Bass Tune-o-matic bridge and Historic Claw tailpiece that keep plenty of resonance in the body. The Newport shines with vintage appeal while still offering playability that can meet the needs of today’s bassists.

Modern-day tonal complexity

You’ll find plenty of tone combinations to love packed away in the Epiphone Newport Bass. Take a listen to the Bass Sidewinder in the neck position and you’ll be treated to that thick, vintage tone of years past. Conversely, the TB PRO in the bridge position offers a mix of brighter timbres. Unlike the one-pickup Newport iterations that came before, this Newport model delivers more tonal complexity than its vintage brethren. If you want a Newport model but can’t afford an original from the ’60s, then we recommend the Newport that rocks in the modern age.
