USA-made pickups and electronics make the new S2 Custom 24-08 and S2 Vela elegant, outstanding, all-American instruments.
Varied, blendable pickups help a super-affordable, vintage-style looker perform with modern panache.
The Epiphone Newport Bass is an all-original design that debuted in 1961. The modern Newport Bass pays tribute to that rare vintage model while offering refinements to meet the needs of today’s bassists. The 30.5” scale length and comfortable Medium C profile make it suitable for players with a wide range of hand sizes, while the symmetrical double-cutaway body ensures excellent access to every fret. The Bass Sidewinder neck pickup provides rich, deep tones, while the TB PRO in the bridge position delivers brighter timbres. The two pickups are paired with master volume and tone controls and a blend knob so you can get precisely the tonal balance you desire. Available with a classic Cherry finish and three custom colors - California Coral, Sunset Yellow, and Pacific Blue.
MLA winds the HD58 humbuckers with a little less output for fans who love the original tones from the late 1950s.
Adding to the company’s line of premium-quality guitar pickups, Missing Link Audio has unleashed the Historically Designed 58 pickup set.
MLA winds the HD58 humbuckers with a little less output for fans who love the original tones from the late 1950s. They offer a much sought-after woody tone and a little more articulation in the mids than a modern humbucker pickup. They capture that late 1950s tone and response while retaining clarity in the highs when you roll off your volume.
The Bridge pickup has a definite sweet sustain and enough growl when you turn the volume knob up. You literally can dial in a Vintage PAF tone but with a lot more articulation. “Fat and woody” is one of the best ways to describe this set.
The Neck pickup is wound to match and has all the clarity that the bridge position possesses with a cello-like sustain and natural woody tone. If you need more it is as simple as turning your volume knob up on the guitar and listen to the response. It has plenty of drive and sustain.
