jonsebass Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Evening all So, for sale/auction is my Epiphone Embassy Standard IV Bass Guitar, in a stunning Cherry finish, with black hardware. Ive owned it for about a year or so, and its been stored in my Gator Hard Case in my studio, so you can rest assured that its in great condition. When I bought this beauty there were a couple of really noticeable scuffs on the front, near the pickups and near the control knobs, along the contours, but after a bit of pro help i managed to more or less buff them out. Little ding at bottom of guitar but noting too serious. Since then its had a proper pro setup (and I mean proper pro setup, not some bloke with an allen key) so the action isnt buzzy low, but isnt achingly high - and even more recently, a brand new set of Stadium Elite Bass Strings have been fitted and have been worn in at a rehearsal. Of course, the neck is slightly angled so this thing can hold a note all day long. Tone wise, this thing is a beast. Its pretty much a Thunderbird, so has those lovely grumbly, rumbly deep bass sounds, as well as amazing, sweet highs. What makes it so versatile is the 2 Humbucker Pickups, so basically this bass is fantastic, no matter what you play (I play in a rock/pop/indie covers band (www.the-inspired.co.uk) and its perfect). According to Epiphone... Pickups: 730T Bass Humbuckers Hardware: Black Scale: 34" Nut Width: 1.65" Neck: Maple, Bolt On (4 Bolts I think) Fret Board: Rosewood, with Mother of Pearl dot inlays Body: Swamp Ash Finish: Cherry This is for sale at £150, and £15 postage! - You will also get a Gator Hard Case too if any of you lovely people decide upon it! any q's please ask! SOLD. [attachment=88353:big_1249467101.jpg] Edited November 3, 2011 by jonsebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
