Epiphone Embassy Bass Rosewood, Sparkling Burgundy

Full Description

Classic styling with comfortable upper fret access

The Embassy Bass features an asymmetrical double cutaway body made from mahogany, combining a distinctive shape with practical access to the higher frets. This makes it easier to reach notes further up the neck when playing basslines that cover a wider range. Its solidbody construction is paired with a gloss Sparkling Burgundy finish, giving the instrument a smooth, polished appearance. A single-ply white pickguard provides a contrasting detail, while nickel hardware complements the overall design. Whether you're practising at home or playing on stage, the Embassy's recognisable shape brings a classic look to your setup.

Comfortable neck for confident playing

A mahogany neck with a Medium C profile gives you a rounded grip that feels comfortable in your hand. Its glued-in construction connects the neck directly to the body, while the rosewood fretboard provides a smooth playing surface. With a 12-inch radius and 20 frets, there's plenty of room to explore basslines across the neck. Pearloid dot inlays help you identify fret positions quickly, particularly when moving between different sections of a song. The full 34-inch scale length and 41.28mm nut width complete the setup, giving you familiar dimensions for four-string bass playing.

Shape your sound with dual humbucking pickups

Two ProBucker Bass 760 humbucking pickups give you a flexible starting point for finding your preferred bass tone. With one positioned near the neck and another at the bridge, you can explore different tonal characteristics depending on how you combine them. The dedicated pickup blend control lets you adjust the balance between the two pickups — handy when you want to change your sound without switching instruments. A master volume control makes it easy to adjust your overall output, while the tone control provides further tonal adjustment. Together, these straightforward controls let you make quick changes during practice, recording, or live performances.

Traditional hardware with practical everyday details

The Historic Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge and Historic Claw tailpiece give the Embassy Bass a traditional hardware arrangement that complements its vintage-inspired appearance. Die-cast tuning machines provide straightforward tuning adjustments, while the distinctive two-on-a-side Embassy headstock keeps the instrument's design consistent. Nickel-plated hardware, including the pickup covers and control fittings, adds a coordinated finish. You'll also find Epiphone Historic insert barrel knobs for easy access to the volume, blend, and tone controls. Plus, the included premium gig bag gives you somewhere to store your bass and helps protect it when you're heading out to your next rehearsal or performance.
