The Epiphone "Newport" bass is an entirely original model that debuted in 1961. The modern "Newport" bass pays homage to this rare retro model while offering refinements to meet the needs of today's bass players . The 30.5" scale length and comfortable mid-C profile accommodate bassists with a wide range of hand sizes, while the symmetrical double-cutaway body ensures excellent access to every fret. The "Bass Sidewinder" pickup in the neck position offers rich, deep tones, while the TB PRO in the bridge position offers livelier tones. Both pickups are paired with master volume and tone controls as well as a blend knob so you can achieve precisely the tonal balance you desire. Available in Cherry, California Coral, Sunset Yellow and Pacific Blue finishes.
