![Can this bass be saved? | Epiphone Newport Bass [Review/Demo]](/img/n.gif)
thank you for actually demo'ing like an normal person plays!!! can actually hear the tone for a change. Everyone tries to do like little funky click clack riffs and you can just hear their fingernail scrapes because they play like an arthritic grandpapa!
Ole Danny is by far my favorite bassist on TH-cam, plays everything and anything excellent, always.
He speaks!!!!
Smiling all the way!
Always
Huge fanboy in Chicago, Southside!
You do realize he’s gonna make any bass sound nice.
Lol
Jim
😂When you have the tone off on the bridge pick up you get that Black Sabbath sound. Really cool
Great demo. DI with no effects saves so much time. I love the sound - sounds vintage. Thank you.
Epiphone got this bass right. Very UK classic / punk rock kinda sounds especially playing with a pick. Cheers!
Is it an upside down embassy? I'm probably trippin but Embassy's are nice too
I like it! I generally don't like short scales but I might make an exception . This reminds me of my Epiphone Embassy bass .
That bridge pick-up groove is you all over Danny, nice one mate👍
I am subscribing based on this review. I love the straight to the point video, and you are a great player.
Love it... its got a real growly tone. Would love one in my arsenal
Now that’s how you should play on a bass demo. The lack of finger-strength in other demos is something that has always bothered me. Great job.
Finger strength?
@@sullyb23511 did I stutter
It's a lot cheaper than a Serek, sounds pretty cool, that's a bridge pickup in the Music man position almost. This is definitely no jazz bass, but it has that vintage swampy thunk.
The pickups are huge and they give you a good platform for fingerstyle bass, if you didn't use a pick.
It sounds like an absolute dream with the tone knob rolled down with both pickups
I really liked that tone as well. I want to stuff some foam under the bridge with both pickups on and the tone rolled off. I think it would be beautiful.
Sounds great
I love it! I just want to crank up both pickups and play every Cream song I know, then roll off the neck pickup and see what the bridge pickup sounds like through a phaser pedal. It's got several inspiring sounds and looks cool too.
Okay, this thing is totally on my radar now! I've long wanted a bass with this kind of sound, and it definitely delivers, only I think I'd probably put flatwounds (or at least "groundwounds") on it right away!
As for the video, it's good! My only gentle criticisms would be to express disappointment that a) we didn't get to hear anything in-between tone all the way up and tone all the way down. I almost never mind/max my tone knobs, so I'm almost never gonna use those settings (though I will say that based on this, I'll probably usually keep the tone below 50 when I'm playing neck, and above 50 when playing bridge), and b) we didn't get to hear how slap tones sounded. I get it, not really the kind of bass for slap, but I'll bet it'd sound really unique and interesting!
Apart from those quibbles, it's a great video for a great budget bass that I'm really feeling I need to pick up someday! So, thank you very much, and cheers!
Awesome review Danny. Well done mate.
Keep seeing these bass’s they do look cool!
Wow the tone of this bass is like none ive ever played need one now
Wow damn you are right, the bridge pickup is not where it "should" be but further up, I think that from the reviews or demos of this model that I have watched you are the first to call that out.
Bridge pickup with plectrum my fave❤️
That new Epi line... gotta get em all man! I love what they are doing right now 👌
Just got my yellow newport today Danny! 'King awesome, great range of tones, I do like the neck mudbucker, but that tb bridge pickup..WOW! Pack's a punch, and the neck is so fun to get around, just begs to be played. Going to try different strings on it tomorrow, and just need a bridge or rod tweak to stop a bit of buzz. Its great for that punk vibe with a pick or a classic 60s/70s thump. It makes me feel like this is what the Gibson EB3 re issue, the SG, should really sound like after owning and gigging wuth one of those in the mid 2000's. Is this the gibson junior double cut bass on a budget?...dunno as not played the DC, but am thinking so. LOVE IT!!❤❤❤
Thoroughly enjoyed this review. Nice job !
Yeah I need one of these
It's a real beauty and I like the sound.
You sound awesome, the bass too!
Like #317. Beautiful guitar, amazing colors, looks so nice.
You play fantastic guitar song.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful playing.
Nice! The Bridge PU has a subtle and surprising “Music Man” quality.
True. I'd like to mix that with a Fender style J pickup at the bridge. That would get nasty in the best way imo.
I love this bass, Hope to get one soon
Great sounding “BEHS” Danny👍🏻
Such a polite English gentleman. His energy here is more natural than in his shorts
Nice sounds
Thanks 👍🎶
nice to see a beautiful new instrument in the hands of someone who can actually play it
Always loved my Epiphone basses. Have a Les Paul that sounds about the same and Thunderbird ❤
I bought one in the blue/green color 7.4 lbs nearby at 10% discount, the gig bag that fits perfectly btw is a Gator Jazzmaster 4G @79$ nice bag. Swapped the strings for d'addario rounds xl165 long scale, the ss dont fit due to the tailpiece, and medium scale are hard to find unless you get them through the mail. All I did was tighten up the tuners w/ a small adjustable wrench and a small phillips on the end of the key...not sloppy anymore and work flawlessly. The bridge was easy to intonate, use the flathead slots in back instead of the allen in the front. The bass is the best "gibson" bass I've owned/played and my 1st was in 1970, sounds more like an EB3 than the new sg bass, love the blend control...and the balance. Tuning it down 1/2 step for my power trio project.
I feel like this bass would sound better with flats
I agree!
I agree.
Everything does!
Most do ;)
What’s it wearin’? High bloody heels?
Reminds me a bit of the Wiltshire or Coronet Epiphones, no bad thing!
Actually the original Newports had the batwing headstock too!
Seriously man, I know this video exists, but I would really like to see more content with the newport in a "real world" mix. The tone demos sound great, and I'm totally lusting after one, just would really like to also hear it in it's element.
That headstock plate looks gash
Neck pick up sounds really good!
Awesome bass. May have to pick one up asap
Mid scales just have that rubbery tone that kicks ass. I play a mid scale fretfree Ulyate prototype that just kills it. My long scales are more precise, but the mids have an organic warmth that is quite lovable.
How strange. You're 100% right, there's official images on Epi's site as well as news preview articles that show the bridge pickup about 1 finger-width from the bridge. The actual retail product has it about 2 finger-widths from the bridge (as yours is). Never really seen that before.
P.S. I'd love to mod this with a 3-position pickup toggle knob/switch with a chicken-head knob. I just feel like it needs a chickenhead pickup selector. :)
Danny: Great bass playing as always. You said the sound of TB Pro bridge pickup is why you got this bass. I feel the same way. Remove the Bass Sidewinder from neck position and use pickguard to cover cavity and move the bridge pickup to middle position. Would eliminate the problems when using a pick. Remove blend knob and move output jack to end position with tone control in middle position. Put a HipShot 2 point supertone bridge and you would have a simple thunderbird sounding short scale bass. What do you think?
Ooooooooo I like that sound!!!!!
Nice video thanks
No,The Epiphone Newport bass has the bridge pup in the sweetspot(ala Ric4001/4003).
Great review! I like the choice of pickups for this bass. I actually think the bridge pickup further from the bridge is closer to my preference. Thanks for the upload and the observations!
I wonder if you can get these and the Epiphone Wiltshire (or whatever it's called as there are different names for the different pickup types I seem to think)?
I remember trying an Epiphone Thunderbird (or was it the SG bass? It was a few years back) and it was shite. Maybe I was expecting it to feel and sound different, but it just felt like too much money for what it was. I tried a Gibson double-cut bass and it was great, although the one I tried may have had a twisted neck or something dodgy (hence the reduced price).
What a weird sounding bass! Like it's always a bit distorted.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a review of the new Epiphone Grabber behs asap!
hmmm - can't actually find anything i like about that - except your playing which is great as always
Great review and excellent playing. I too have always hated "Relic" guitars WHY? what is the point????
do you need a whole quiver of behsz or is it possible to have one behs for all purposes
Awesome review and playin. Loved it 🎶👌👍Pretty nice bass too 🎸🤘Both pu's, tone full on, ... geez, that's the horney sound i'm going for🥰
What kind of strings are on this amazing bass?
On my list now....
Very cool. 34 inch scale would be great.
Late to the party, but weren’t the first runs of these wired out of phase? Might be hoping for too much from Gibson/Epiphone QC, but any idea if they fixed the problem?
I couldn't do many slap techniques, with a neck pickup all up against the fretboard like that, It sits right in the way of a slap/pop. I would have to slap in between those pickups, it would sound different too.
Agree, flats would be a great match!
I'd like to listen to your play in a band , that should be a good r'n'r band!
With both pickups on I swear it sounds identical to a Rickenbacker!
I almost bought the Epiphone Embassy when they came out 2 years ago but ended up getting a 2021 Mexican Fender P bass even though I have a 73 and 91Fender Jazzs and a 82 P and Iike the 21 P, I wanted to buy myself a brand new bass because have not bought new in years. I am not big on the Epiphone's, I got a 2017 SG bass that I bought a couple of years ago from a friend in mint condition for less then half of what he paid brand new, he was getting a New Gibson SG short scale. I played the bass and it played well but did not really put it threw its paces and the electronics really suck. I have a 66 EB-0 and always wanted an old EB-3 and thought if the Epiphone was half the bass my EB-0 was I would be happy, but far from it. Now I want Epiphone to make good basses even if it costs a couple of hundred more. I like the looks of the Newport like I liked the look of the Embassy especially the green one, I am going to have to find a store that Has one so I can play it myself. I guess at the price of the new Newport I should not get my hopes up.
Awesome bass and review! Shame the bass has a fake mudbucker though, time for an Artec swap!
I like the look of it(especially in yellow) but I have an Embassy and this'd be IMO a bit redundant.I hate Gibby style two and three point bridges and have replaced mine with high mass fully adjustable Hipshots .Nice pick jam! You're a fine player.
Noice Behs!
Love the Yellow!
Who knew an epiphone could sound like that
Is this one better thay the PJ mustang ?
Hello :)
What is the thickness of the bass strings?
I caved, I had to have a yellow one and now I wait.
The bridge pickup is a little crooked. I have been noticing this more and more with these newer imported guitars. Sucks.
I began playing bass around 2005 with an Epiphone EB-0. My worst bass by far. I had the chance to play with newer Epiphones (Thunderbird, Embassy) and they are far better. I love the sound of this one, but I would have loved an SG-shaped bass with these pickups and headstock.
I am with you regarding buying a new instrument all knackered, it's bullshit, as we say in Amerika!
first ! i'm gonna buy same bass! this monday !
How can you turn the tone on or off? It’s nonsense. It’s just a different tone.
Sounds like it has real potential. I like it. Too bad they put the pick guard on it. It would look better without it. Maybe paint it black.
you said it was clean/di...wheres all that drive coming from?
That's as clean as this bass gets!
I'm with you on the relics...it's just insane to destroy new gear like that. I'd like to hear this bass with flat wounds, just something magic about that combo. All the classic rock or motown bass lines from the 60s were recorded with a SS bass and flats, back in the day when basses had bass tone, and bass players didn't all want to play lead and 'cut through' the mix.
I swear I can hear a phaser or something on the demo...
The bas naturally is a bit out of phase. You can here it on other demos
@@dirtblock2147 Yeah, but I'm hearing it even when it's just the neck pickup by itself. I wonder if Danny recorded the bass directly but didn't mute his room mic? I could be hearing phase issues between the two.
Sounds just like a Gibson EBO, muddy.
Epiphone makes great stuff, but they’ve never really nailed a bass that I liked…
Pentatonic is all good. Now stretch it bro
This has nothing to do with the actual review, which was well done, but It sounds just ok, and not a fan of the look of it.
Not really a fan of the sound of this one. Sounds thin and snappy to me.
Same old horrible mud tone.
