Drawing from a rich heritage, the Epiphone Embassy Bass Guitar in Graphite Black is a modern reimagining of the 1963 original. This modern classic is crafted for the discerning musician, combining vintage aesthetics with advanced functionality. The asymmetrical double-cutaway body is entirely composed of solid mahogany, providing a warm and resonant tone that's perfect for a wide range of musical styles.

A key feature of the Embassy Bass is the ProBucker 760 humbucking pickups, known for their powerful output and tonal versatility. These pickups are meticulously crafted, inspired by the original Thunderbird and Embassy pickups from the 60s. They are made with 18% Nickel Silver Covers, German-manufactured Elektrisola Magnet wire, Alnico IV sand cast magnets, and braided coaxial lead wire, and vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonics.

A 34" scale mahogany neck, capped with an Indian laurel fretboard, ensures comfortable playability and a smooth feel. The 2x2 headstock design improves balance, making this guitar as comfortable to play as it is sonically pleasing. The inclusion of a pickup blend knob, as well as master volume and tone controls, offers musicians the ability to shape their sound with precision.
