Epiphone Embassy Electric Bass Guitar - Sparkling Burgundy

Born in Kalamazoo in 1963, the Embassy is a true Epiphone original, and the refreshed Epiphone Embassy Bass carries that distinctive design forward with a mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard and dual ProBucker 760 Bass humbuckers. Its asymmetrical double-cutaway body combines an extended upper horn for improved strap balance with a rear comfort carve that sits more naturally against the player, while a glued-in Medium C mahogany neck and 34" scale establish the playing platform. Master volume, pickup blend and master tone controls make it easy to move between the two humbuckers, with a Vintage Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Bass Claw tailpiece providing the primary setup and string-anchoring hardware. Finished in Sparkling Burgundy and supplied with a premium gig bag, the latest Embassy updates an Epiphone original without losing the shape and straightforward control layout that make it distinct.

Asymmetrical Mahogany Body Balances the Embassy on a Strap

The Embassy’s solid mahogany body supplies the foundation for the rich, full voice Epiphone describes, but its asymmetrical shape also addresses practical playing concerns. An extended upper horn improves balance on a strap, while the rear comfort carve softens the body against the torso during longer rehearsals and sets. Those ergonomic details give the Embassy a reason for its unusual proportions beyond appearance alone, with the gloss Sparkling Burgundy finish and nickel hardware keeping the outline visually prominent.

Dual ProBucker 760 Humbuckers Offer Continuous Blending

ProBucker 760 Bass humbuckers at the neck and bridge provide the powerful, full-bodied voice Epiphone specifies without unwanted 60-cycle hum. Instead of stepping between fixed pickup combinations, the blend control moves continuously from one pickup to the other, while master volume sets overall output and master tone shapes the high-frequency response. CTS potentiometers support the three-control layout, giving bassists a direct way to use either pickup on its own or dial in any mix between them.

Medium C Set Neck Keeps the Playing Feel Familiar

A glued-in mahogany neck creates the Embassy’s set-neck foundation, paired with a Medium C profile intended to suit a wide range of players. The 34" scale provides standard long-scale dimensions, while the rosewood fingerboard carries 20 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays for a straightforward playing surface. A 2x2 headstock layout helps balance the instrument, with a Graph Tech nut and die-cast tuners completing the string path.

Vintage Bass Bridge and Claw Tailpiece Refine Setup

The nickel-plated Vintage Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge separates action and intonation adjustment from the Vintage Bass Claw tailpiece, giving each string its own intonation point while the tailpiece anchors the set behind the bridge. Epiphone also credits this hardware arrangement with contributing to the bass’s resonance and sustain. Die-cast tuners and the Graph Tech nut complete the setup, keeping the refreshed Embassy rooted in a traditional, serviceable hardware layout.

Original Epiphone Character in a Refreshed Modern Build

The Embassy Bass stands apart from more conventional bass shapes through its asymmetrical body, 1963 lineage and separate bridge-and-tailpiece design, but the current specification remains easy to put to work. A Medium C set neck, rosewood fingerboard and blendable dual humbuckers give players familiar fundamentals, while the rear comfort carve and premium gig bag reinforce the practical side of the refresh. For bassists who want an Epiphone design with its own history and silhouette rather than another take on the usual templates, the Epiphone Embassy Bass Guitar brings that identity into a current playing format.
