1968 Epiphone Gibson Newport Cherry Red, Excellent, Original Hard, $1,550.00
Epiphone Newport EBS, made in the Kalamazoo Gibson factory and a sibling of the Gibson EB0. Quality materials and construction, cool 60s look, and short scale made for a pretty nifty bass back in the 60s, and today a Newport is really good vintage value.
The body is mahogany with a cherry red finish. The neck is mahogany neck topped with a rosewood finger board. The metal parts are chrome, and retain their shine. One wear spot on top, and some finish checking. Some thumb/play wear on one side of the fingerboard extension. No evident repairs. Serial number is in the 900xxx range.
The bass plays well, and all parts appear original, including the original 'hang tag'. Original hard case in good condition. A complete package for the vintage bass enthusiast.
