1965 Epiphone Embassy Bass Pacific Blue Refin

Epiphone's Embassy Bass is one for those of you who love Gibson/Epiphone's styling and craftsmanship but can't get along with their customary short-scale offerings. Yep, the Embassy with its full 34" scale is more punch and less muddddd. That's right, these are the same pickups you find in Thunderbirds and they're a world apart from the mud-buckers on other Gibson and put a whole lot more workable tones at your fingertips. The style is great all around from the sultry cutaways to the bat-wing headstock. Even the knobs have a cool retro charm to them and you don't find them on any other brands. The actions is low and super playable. The neck is comfy with a J-bass type taper, with a little extra girth than that of the typical Fender. 1-1/2" wide at the nut. It's a very reasonable 7.8 lbs. It has a top-shelf pro-refin in a very sexy Pacific Blue finish. The serial number is still readable and we have a "before-shot" showing that the headstock has no breaks. Almost as rare as the Pacific Blue finish is the original case. A great package.
