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.

Gibson SG Reissue 4-String Bass Heritage Cherry Sunburst Chrome Hardware

The small, fast bass. Gibson's classic dual-pickup SG bass from the '60s is back! It has the 30-1/2" short scale of the original, as well as its slim, fast neck. Mahogany body and neck. It features a vintage-style TB Plus neck humbucker and a mini-humbucker at the bridge for wide tonal range. Includes hardshell case.

Also available in Ebony

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:

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.

Epiphone EB-0 Electric Bass Cherry

Authorized by Gibson, with the EB-0 Electric Bass, Epiphone has brought back a classic bass guitar of the early '60s. Based on the SG, this guitar-sized (30-1/2" scale) electric bass is a great axe for anyone not quite large enough for a full-size bass. Though small and light, the Epiphone EB-0 Bass has huge sound, and full-size people can play it too

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.
