Experience the rumble of lower frequencies and glistening definition of the high end. Whether you're in the studio or an epic gig, the Epiphone Embassy promises you a jaw-dropping, wall-trembling sound.

Retro inspiration

First introduced in 1963, the original Epiphone Embassy bass became a popular choice amongst players due to its unique solid body qualities. Which is why Epiphone have maintained their historic values in this stunning model, taking its inspiration from the original while adding a few modern enhancements for today's player. Its solid mahogany body now features a longer upper horn, which not only offers provides more comfort during performance, but also improves the overall balance of the bass. And with the iconic double-cutaway shape for effortless fret access, the Embassy injects true vintage quality into the hands of the modern player.
