Epiphone Newport Bass [Product Demo]
Dan Coniglio from Long & McQuade Markham explores and showcases Epiphone's Newport bass.
The Epiphone Newport bass is an all-original design that debuted in 1961. This modern Newport bass pays tribute to that rare vintage model while offering refinements to meet the needs of today's bassists. The 30.5" scale length and comfortable Medium-C profile make it suitable for players with a wide range of hand sizes, while the symmetrical double-cutaway body ensures excellent access to every fret. The Bass Sidewinder neck pickup provides rich, deep tones, while the TB PRO in the bridge position delivers brighter timbres. The two pickups are paired with master volume and tone controls and a blend knob so you can get precisely the tonal balance you desire. Available with a classic Cherry finish as featured in this video, as well as three custom colours - California Coral, Sunset Yellow, and Pacific Blue. This video features playing examples along with an in-depth overview of the physical, visual and sonic highlights of the instrument.
