Pre-Owned Epiphone Viola Bass Guitar, Vintage Sunburst
The Epiphone Viola Bass is a modern classic inspired by one of the most iconic bass designs in rock history, and this pre-owned model in Vintage Sunburst brings that unmistakable retro style at an incredible value. With its violin-shaped hollow body and warm, woody tone, it’s a bass that stands out both visually and sonically.
Crafted with a maple body and set mahogany neck, the Viola Bass has a resonant, airy character that delivers a rich, rounded low end with plenty of vintage thump. The rosewood fingerboard feels smooth and comfortable, making it easy to lay down basslines with both precision and groove.
Equipped with a pair of NYR and NYT mini humbuckers, the Viola Bass covers a wide tonal spectrum—from deep, warm lows to articulate, defined mids. Simple volume and tone controls for each pickup give you straightforward access to a range of classic sounds, perfect for everything from 60s-inspired pop to modern indie and alternative.
The short 30.5" scale length makes it incredibly playable, with a slinky string feel that’s ideal for fast runs or more relaxed, melodic bass parts. Chrome hardware, a floating bridge, and trapezoid tailpiece complete the vintage aesthetic, while ensuring stable performance.
As a pre-owned instrument, this Epiphone Viola Bass carries a touch of character and history, making it more than just a bass—it’s an instrument with stories already woven into its sound.
At Musicmaker, we love basses that combine vibe, comfort, and tone, and the Epiphone Viola Bass does all three in style.
