A Bass That's Worthy of the Embassy Name

The Epiphone Embassy earns every letter of its name, standing proudly as a tribute to the 1963 original. And it's better than ever, boasting improved balance and looks with a 2-per-side headstock and an extended upper horn. It's also equipped with ProBucker 760 bass pickups that replicate the original Gibson mid-1960s Thunderbird pickups, as well as cool original barrel-style knobs for volume, tone, and blend. With its solid mahogany body, mahogany neck, and Indian laurel fingerboard, this bass has a rich, thumpy, warm low end and smooth playability.

Balance is the key to life — and performance

The former Embassy reissues had extremely long horns; this model pulls the lower horn way back and slightly reduces the upper horn for better overall balance. The bassists here at Sweetwater were also quick to appreciate the symmetry of the Embassy's 2-per-side headstock. All in all, this bass has a comfortable center of gravity that makes long gigs a pleasure.

Top-notch hardware and electronics for the serious player

The ProBucker 760 bass pickups really capitalize on the resonance and rich tone of the Embassy's mahogany body. Just like the replica mid-1960s bass Tune-o-matic bridge with claw tailpiece, its ProBuckers are a nod to vintage style and performance that will stand the test of time. What's more, this modern Embassy gives you a blend knob for more tonal flexibility. At the other end of the neck, premium die-cast bass tuners anchor the strings with superior stability for consistent, reliable tuning.

Epiphone Embassy Bass Guitar Features:

  • Well-balanced, great-looking bass takes the pain out of long sessions and shows
  • An homage to 1960s Embassy basses, with significant gains in playability and performance
  • ProBucker 760 pickups bring out the warmth and punch of the solid mahogany body
  • Blend knob provides you with added tonal flexibility
  • Replica mid-1960s bass Tune-o-matic bridge and claw tailpiece exude solid vintage vibe
  • Bridge and neck volume and master tone controls feature groovy original barrel-style knobs

Beautiful tone, perfect neck.

I've played Bass for over 50 years. Mostly played Gibson had a Hohner Widowmaker back in the day (wish I'd never sold it). Beautiful and wonderful basses all. This Embassy has stolen my heart! It plays so smooth and has such great tone. I play Blues, Jazz and R&R, it sounds great whatever the venue. I'd recommend this bass to everyone.

Fun and Bad-A$$ Bass

This is my third bass and surprisingly my first full-scale 34". I've got a 30" shorty and a 32" medium, and here's what is so amazing about this bass — it's every bit as comfortable as either of those! The way this thing is laid out (the bridge being so far back, I guess?) makes it play like a shorter-scaled instrument. And, without getting out the bathroom scale, I'd say that I think this is lighter than either of those instruments! It's very light, easy and comfortable to play, with great balance and zero neck dive. I use a regular guitar strap with this and yet have no trouble whatsoever standing and playing four, back-to-back, one-hour sets.

Things to know: The bridge is adjustable, but there is no way to dial in individual saddle heights. I've been able to find a happy medium, but it did take a little fiddling around to get it just right. Also, the tuners are OK but not awesome. They will be the first thing I upgrade if/when I decide to do so.

The pickups are great! Big sound. Noticeably hotter (i.e., louder) than on either of my other basses. I like the bridge, actually – love the look and think it functions well enough. The neck is wide, roughly P-bass width, I think (you can double-check that), but it feels easy to navigate – and remember, this is coming from a guy who has only ever played shorter-scaled and narrower-necked instruments. My bandmates like it, which is a definite plus. And, it's super-affordable. Oh, and the fit and finish are pro-level. You'll want to keep the fretboard oiled, especially in winter, and I've done some minor filing to make the fret ends perfect, but there wasn't any true fret-sprout that had to be fixed; it's more of a personal perfectionism.

I highly recommend this bass if you play rock and/or play with a pick. It's a perfect fit with those styles (but does well fingerstyle and on less intense songs, too). If you want something different and like the looks of this (or if you like but can't afford a Serek, lol), grab this Epiphone! You'll be happy with it.

Beautiful Bass

Plays like a dream, set up great right out of the box.
by Sweetwater Customer from VA on

Great gift!

I purchased this bass for a friend as a birthday present.

To say he was pleased is an understatement. He has shared with me on multiple occasions how happy he is with the instrument. He comments on the weight, feel, and sound. All glowing comments.

Based on my friends enjoyment of the bass and the smile on his face when he received this one is a winner!

Awesome Bass

I play Fender and Rickenbacker Basses through an Eden Head and two 4 X 12 Eden Cabs So I'm not a newby or afraid to spend money on quality instruments. With that said, I've always loved the looks and sound of a Gibson Thunderbird but just couldn't make the ergonomics of that Bass work for me. So, I read about, but held back on pulling the trigger on Epiphone's revision of its 60's Embassy Bass until this month. Now that I own one, Epiphone's revision of the 1963 is brilliant, looks-wise, sound-wise, and ergonomically it's an upper story home run. Mine will now be my number two Bass and that's saying a lot.

Not to say its perfect out of the Box as you will have to set it up and the stock Marvel tuners are rubbish. I've already replaced those with Gotoh's brilliant L2+R2 GB707's (Direct fit with modded screw holes) and this Bass now ranks up there with any Bass I own, regardless of price.

I love the fit, finish, and detail on this Bass, praise be to CNC machines and modern Factory Quality Control. Even the MOP Epiphone Logo is legit and they recreated the original's barrel knobs.

Additionally, if you don't have a light-weight long scale bass (mine weighs 7 pounds 9 ounces as measured by Sweetwater) you owe it to your back to buy one of these killer Basses. This Bass growls like a T-bird with zero ergonomic problems. It's wonderful to play on a strap (install strap locks and don't drop it) and the sounds from both pickups are great, usable and cut through a mix, while the blend/mixing knob between the two is simply brilliant achieving a very wide range of usable sounds.

Note to Epiphone: I would have paid more for mine if it came stock with the Gotoh GB707's and that's why it only gets 4.5 stars.

THe only dilemma is which of the four current colors to pick and I can't help you with that. Mine is wnaderlust green and looks way better in person than it does on-line. Great presentation kudos to Sweetwater, your the best on-line Music retailer.
