General

The Rumblekat Bass is Epiphone's way of honouring late bass player, Allen Woody (Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule). This special chambered electric bass is based on the various custom and vintage models that Woody used to play, including two custom double-neck basses built by Gibson. A short-scale model, the Rumblekat has a 30" scale length and can even be comfortably played by bassists who don't have particularly large hands. Also, while body doesn't have any sound holes, the chambered design still gets you that characteristically airy bass sound without any of that unwanted feedback.

The Allen Woody Rumblekat Bass: Rising Low

To make sure the warm foundation sound shaped largely by the mahogany build gets amplified with ample punch, Epiphone for opted for an NYT mini-humbucker in the neck and mid positions. Each pickup comes with its own volume control for more subtle tweaks, while the master volume pot can be used to dial in the right volume for the mix. Next to the shorter scale length, the mahogany neck has been finished with a trusty SlimTaper C profile and 20 medium frets, and Epiphone have installed an especially stable 3-point adjustable bridge to keep the tone and tuning beautifully consistent.

Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat Bass Wine Red Electric Bass Guitar
Wrote the following about Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat Bass Wine Red Electric Bass Guitar
Een hele fijne short scale! Voor mij ideaal met het wisselen tussen gitaar en basgitaar.

De looks en toon is een kwestie van smaak. Deze leent zich goed voor country, blues, rock, jazz en alternatieve stijlen. De actie is laag en door ook nog eens een lagere snaarspanning is de bas heel soepel te bespelen. Met flatwound snaren krijg je meer een vintage sound. De bas klinkt sowieso door zijn holle constructie warm. Van een warm soort P sound tot een wat diepere warme sound. Ondanks de 2 humbuckers meer naar de hals zijn er best wel verschillende sounds uit te halen.

Kwa afwerking ziet alles er netjes uit. De houtnerf die door de lak zichtbaar is geeft een mooi effect. De binding is prachtig. Stemmechanieken zijn goed en stemvast. De bas is niet zwaar, fijn voor je rug.

Misschien geen bas voor iedereen, als je wilt slappen en tappen kijk dan verder, maar als je eens wat anders wil, gewoon proberen.
Voor mij is dit nu mijn nummer 1 bas.
