Vintage 1964 Epiphone Newport Bass Guitar & Case
$ 2,750.00$ 2,150.00
Here is an absolutely beautiful 1964 Epiphone Newport bass guitar that I got from the original owner about 10 years ago. It is in the exact same condition as when I got it from him. It’s all original with no issues whatsoever. Small finish wear on the back of the neck and a few tiny dings on the body but overall this one is super clean. Was hardly ever played. Original frets show very little wear. Neck is straight. Action is low. Plays amazing. Sounds amazing. Everything about this bass is just right. Comes with the original case which is in excellent condition except for the one end has had some damage. It is only on the one end. All of the latches work. Hinges work. Inside is in good shape. No funny smells. The one end just needs repaired by someone with the proper woodworking skills. These cases are extremely rare and would be worth the effort. As is, the case is good for storage and display, just not for travel.
Back to the bass. The bass is still nice and bright cherry red. Pickguard had some cracks at the screw holes as you’d expect by now but doesn’t affect playing at all. Still nice and tight to the body. You’re not going to find a much nicer one of these out there.
