Vintage-Inspired Design: The Epiphone Newport Bass revives the classic design first introduced in 1961. This modern version honors its vintage roots while incorporating contemporary enhancements. The symmetrical double-cutaway body offers exceptional access to the higher frets, making it ideal for various playing styles.

Scale Length and Neck Profile: With a 30.5-inch scale length, the Newport Bass is designed for comfort and playability. This shorter scale is well-suited for players who prefer a more manageable instrument without sacrificing tonal depth. The Medium C neck profile provides a comfortable grip for players of all hand sizes.

Pickups and Controls: The Newport Bass features a Bass Sidewinder neck pickup and a TB PRO bridge pickup. The Sidewinder pickup delivers deep, rich tones, while the TB PRO offers bright, clear sounds. Together, they provide a wide range of tonal possibilities. The master volume, blend knob, and master tone controls allow precise adjustment to achieve the desired sound balance.

Build and Finish: The body is crafted from mahogany and finished in a glossy coat, contributing to its resonant, full-bodied tone. The laurel fingerboard, with a 12-inch radius and pearloid dot inlays, ensures smooth playability and aesthetic appeal. The historic Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge and historic claw tailpiece enhance sustain and tuning stability.

Hardware and Design Details: Equipped with die-cast tuning machines and a 3-ply pickguard, the Newport Bass combines functionality with classic styling. The dual-action truss rod allows for easy neck adjustments, ensuring consistent playability. The instrument’s sleek Pacific Blue finish adds a touch of modern elegance to its retro design.
