Frequently Asked Questions
The ProBucker 760s are significantly hotter and more aggressive than the standard Epiphone pickups, providing a thicker, more defined low-end with more growl.
Like most gloss finishes, the Sparkling Burgundy can show scratches with regular use; a quality polish and careful handling will help keep it looking its best.
A bass amp with a warm, vintage EQ setting will really bring out the Embassy's character; think Ampeg SVT or similar, but a smaller practice amp will work too.
