Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Epiphone’s right-handed Newport is a four-string, short-scale electric bass with a 30.5-inch scale and Medium C neck profile. Its symmetrical double-cutaway body is designed to keep every fret accessible. A Bass Sidewinder sits at the neck for rich, deep sounds, while the TB PRO bridge pickup brings brighter timbres. Master volume and tone controls are joined by a blend knob, so you can set the balance between the two pickups directly from the bass.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want a 30.5-inch short-scale, four-string electric bass.
- Rehearsal or stage setups where blending neck and bridge pickup output is useful.
- Right-handed players who want access across all 20 frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a case supplied with the bass.
- Left-handed players.
