Epiphone Limited Edition Ripper Bass
Epiphone Limited Edition Ripper Bass Antique Natural

The Limited Edition Ripper Bass brings back a Gibson favorite of the '70s. It is an Epiphone creation with a hard maple body and matching maple neck and fingerboard. The back of the neck has a satin finish for smooth feel while the fingerboard has a high gloss polyurethane finish that will protect it for years. A brass nut has been added to increase sustain. Another new wrinkle is a split-coil, single-coil pickup combination with individual volumes, master tone, and 3-way switching for greater tonal range. A great bass from the past with its unique styling and custom touches that enhance performance.

Epiphone Elitist EB-3 Bass Guitar
Epiphone Elitist EB-3 Bass Guitar Cherry

The Elite series are instruments that approach custom shop perfection. They're made with premium woods, fitted with American pickups and circuitry -- even American-made toggle switches and Grover tuners. They are made at a special factory exclusively devoted to their manufacture where they receive a high degree of hands-on luthier attention. The EB-3 is a bass classic, made famous by Jack Bruce, with its SG-style body in bookmatched mahogany, a 30-1/2"-scale neck, a USA humbucker at the neck, and USA mini-humbucker at the bridge. Features:

  • Bookmatched mahogany body
  • Gotoh tuners
  • Rosewood fingerboard
  • 2-frets
  • One-piece mahogany neck set at the 17th fret
  • 30-1/2" scale
  • 1-11/16" bone nut
  • 20 frets
  • USA humbucker treble pickup
  • USA mini-humbucker bridge pickup
  • 2 volume, 2 tone, 4-way switch
  • Nickel hardware
  • Jack Casady Signature bass
    Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass Guitar Metallic Gold

    Deep, articulate tone and classic hollowbody style are the hallmarks of this bass. The maple body, mahogany center block, set maple neck, and rosewood fretboard conspire to create a sweet-playing bass you won't want to put down. Has a single low-impedance JCB-1 humbucker with VariTone control, as well as traditional volume and tone knobs. Pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, body binding, and Jack's signature across the headstock set it apart.

    Epiphone 1958 Flying-V Bass
    Epiphone 1958 Flying-V Bass Ebony Gold Hardware

    The same korina wood used on the original 1958 Flying-V bass bodies provides amazing resonance and light weight. Maple neck with a rosewood fretboard is set into the body and plays smooth with easy action from a short 30-1/2" scale. Humbucking pickups provide flawless growl and rumble while gold hardware enhances the vintage yet radical styling.

    Gibson SG Supreme Bass
    Gibson SG Supreme Bass Natural

    Gibson's classic dual-pickup, short scale, SG bass, has been updated with a beautiful AAA flame maple top and natural satin finish. With a slim neck for effortless playability, the SG Supreme AAA Maple bass is fast, powerful, and beautiful. A vintage-style TB Plus bass humbucker neck pickup coupled with a bass Mini-humbucker at the bridge delivers trademark tone. A real stunner.

    Allen Woody Rumblekat bass
    Epiphone Allen Woody Limited Edition Bass Wine Red

    Woody, who passed away in August 2000, was an avid collector of vintage Epiphone basses, and this signature model combines the features that Woody found best for playing in his aggressive, rumbling style. It has a semi-hollow, single-cutaway, archtop body similar to that of Epiphone's Kat series but without f-holes. The neck is a 30" short scale for easier play. Mini-humbucking pickups in the neck and middle position deliver a warm tone. Gold hardware.
