Here's my "free" '70s Epiphone bass ET-270? It was a pile of parts when given to me. Planning to paint the cover for Led Zepplin 1 on here someday,need a large image of that picture.

Plays and sounds really good.People are really surprised when they pick up what looks like a cheap beater

And it feels and sounds like a million!!

Hey' date=' jerrymac, that Newport bass looks mighty nice --- what scale length is it and how would you describe the tone in comparison to a Precision, Jazz, EB or Hofner?[/quote']

 

 

It's 34" scale. I haven't played it other than to put some new strings on it and set it up, and that was just through a small practice amp, so I really can't judge it fairly. I can say it's nothing like a Hofner, my initial impression is that it's more like a Fender than anything else.
