Visually, the Embassy Bass scores with its elegant smoked almond metallic finish - sonically, it impresses with depth, pressure and clarity. A perfect choice for modern bassists with vintage aspirations.

Epiphone - Authentic sound with tradition

For over 150 years, Epiphone has stood for high-quality instruments that have made musical history. As a subsidiary brand of Gibson, Epiphone offers affordable versions of legendary models - often with its own design signature and bold innovative spirit. The Epiphone Embassy Bass is one of these classics. Its origins lie in the early 1960s, when Epiphone impressed with its independent design, high quality and remarkable sound diversity. The new edition of the Embassy Bass remains true to the original, but combines it with modern features for contemporary playing comfort and sound - and at an excellent price-performance ratio.

Technical details of the Epiphone Embassy Smoked Almond Metallic electric bass

The body of the Epiphone Embassy bass is made of solid mahogany, providing a warm, resonant base with balanced sustain. The asymmetrical double cutaway design improves playability in the upper registers and creates a striking visual profile. The elegant Smoked Almond Metallic finish gives the bass a modern yet classic touch - striking but stylish.

The neck is also made from mahogany and has a comfortable medium C profile. The set-neck construction (glued) results in particularly good vibration behavior, which gives the instrument sustain and expressiveness. The dual-action truss rod allows precise adjustment of the neck curvature - ideal for individual setups. The fingerboard is made of Indian Laurel, a wood with a pleasant feel and balanced tone transmission. The pearloid dot inlays set visual accents and make orientation easier.

With a fingerboard radius of 305 mm (12") and 20 medium jumbo frets, the bass offers both chord players and soloists a comfortable playing platform. The scale length is 863.6 mm (34"), which corresponds to the current long scale standard and ensures tight string tension and clear depth. The nut width of 41.28 mm provides sufficient space between the strings and a good balance between precise feel and hand comfort. The nut itself is made of high-quality imitation bone - a durable and resonance-friendly alternative to a real bone nut.

The sound of the Embassy bass is characterized by two ProBucker™ Bass 760 humbuckers - one on the neck and one on the bridge. These deliver a broad spectrum from deep, warm basses to assertive mids and defined highs. Volume, blend and tone controls (with classic Epiphone Historic Barrel Knobs) allow the sound to be shaped flexibly and sensitively. This makes the bass suitable for almost any genre - from rock, soul and funk to pop and alternative.

The bass hardware is also designed for durability and functionality: A Historic Bass Tune-O-Matic™ bridge ensures precise intonation and even string action, while the Historic Claw tailpiece is responsible for stable vibration transmission. The chrome-plated die-cast tuners with Clover Buttons keep the tuning stable - even when played intensively. The output jack is designed as a classic 1/4" jack and guarantees a secure connection to the stage or studio.
