Gibson bass 1972 bass catalogue. Front cover. The psychedelic cover of this catalogue would have been more appropriate 5 years earlier - the tides of fashion were also turning against the instruments within; despite a redesign the 1972 style SG basses were hardly selling beyond 1974

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.

    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.

    Epiphone EB-0
    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.
