One of only 17 ever made, 1962 Kalamazoo-made Epiphone Newport EB6 6-string bass with original Selmer case (although the case is in very poor condition) which suggests it was UK-supplied. The bass itself is in very good all-original condition and sounds superb, no breaks, no repairs, just reasonable wear and tear as you would expect given the age. Looks like a thumbrest was fitted at one point, don't know if they came with one originally? Anyway, it's not there anymore and so there are two screwholes on the front. A further comment on the case: it could do with some repair work as one of the bottom panels is coming away and it's not really in serviceable condition, not that I imagine you'd want to gig this.

 

It is hard to overstate the rarity of this bass, the Gibson equivalent (SG-shaped) is rare enough, but the Epiphone version is next to impossible to find. I've only ever seen one other (on Reverb) and that was a) in America and b) modified.

Only selling as I have a number of 6-string basses and not enough space. I may be open to part-exchanges but they will need to be vintage rather than anything modern. Given the value, pickup/meet-up only, I'm happy to travel within a reasonable distance.

 

Just added more pics but more available on request
