Epiphone Newport Bass, dating from 1965 (made in Kalamazoo, USA).

A 100% original and excellently-kept Epiphone Newport bass, made in the Gibson factory during their period of having acquired Epiphone. These were made side by side with EB-0 basses, featuring near-identical construction and materials including a solid mahogany body, Cherry Red finish and a lone Gibson 'Mudbucker' pickup.

Complete with its original case, this bass is in excellent condition and retains all of its original components.
