Shipping figures for Epiphone Newport EBS, EBD, EBSF and EBS 6 bass guitars

1965 Pelham blue Epiphone Newport bass. Unfortunatly the shipping figures do not split by colour, but the vast majority of Newports were Cherry; this bass is something of a rarity. Notice how the yellowed clear-coat has turned the once-blue colour, a turquoise green.

The Epiphone Newport shipped in relatively small numbers compared to the Gibson equivalent model, the EB-0 (see the Gibson EB-0 shipping figures). The simple single-pickup Newport shipped between 1961 and 1969, with other variations available until 1965, but in very small numbers.
