Description
Description
This second hand bass guitar is in great condition
The Epiphone Viola Bass instantly evokes a certain era. Inspired by the classic violin‑shaped basses of the 1960s, it blends vintage charm with modern reliability, making it a favourite among players who want that warm, thumpy, old‑school tone .
Build & Aesthetics
Body
- Hollowbody construction keeps it lightweight and resonant.
- The violin shape is iconic — compact, elegant, and unmistakably retro.
- Laminated maple top, back, and sides give it a bright, lively acoustic character.
Finish & Hardware
- Typically offered in Vintage Sunburst or Natural.
- Chrome hardware and classic control layout maintain the 60s vibe.
- Fit and finish are generally solid for the price, with clean binding and tidy craftsmanship.
Weight
- Extremely light , ideal for long gigs or players who prefer a more comfortable, compact instrument.
Neck & Playability
Neck Profile
- Slim, comfortable neck that suits both beginners and experienced players.
- Short scale (30.5") makes fretting easy and encourages a warm, rounded tone.
Fingerboard
- Rosewood fingerboard with a smooth feel.
- Short scale means lower string tension, which is great for fast lines and expressive playing.
Overall Feel
- Very easy to play.
- Perfect for players who want a relaxed, vintage‑style bass experience.
Electronics & Tone
Pickups
- Two mini‑humbuckers deliver a classic hollowbody bass sound.
- Neck pickup: deep, thumpy, and warm.
- Bridge pickup: brighter, more defined, with a bit of bite.
Tone Character
- Naturally warm and woody thanks to the hollowbody design.
- Strong low‑mid presence that sits beautifully in a mix.
Genres It Excels At

- Indie
- Folk

Strengths & Weaknesses

Who It’s For
The Epiphone Viola Bass is perfect for:
- Players who love vintage tones and aesthetics
- Beatles fans wanting that iconic hollowbody sound
- Beginners who want a comfortable, easy‑playing bass
