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.

Gibson Thunderbird IV Active Bass Zebra Wood
Gibson Thunderbird IV Active Bass Zebra Wood

The Thunderbird IV debuted in 1963 with the original Firebird guitar series. The most highly respected of all Gibson basses, the Thunderbird was reissued in 1987 with original reverse body styling and new, special-design pickups. This limited edition T-Bird features a gorgeous zebrawood body as well as two TB Plus ceramic magnet humbuckers to dish out the rumble necessary for heavy rock and blues.

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.

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 Thunderbird IV
Epiphone Thunderbird IV Reverse Bass Vintage Sunburst

This streamlined design is based on Gibson's original shape, with tuning keys reversed for greater functionality. 2 humbucking pickups, volume and tone controls. Alder and maple body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard. Limited lifetime warranty.
