Product Description
The Epiphone ET Series guitars and basses were solid body guitars produced during the 1970s at the Matsumoku plant in Japan.
In 1970, the decision was made to close down Kalamazoo production of Epiphones in favor of building them overseas in Japan. Epiphone decided to offer a new line of Japanese-built Epiphones that had more in common with other Japanese copies than previous Epiphone products. Often confused with the Newport and Embassy Deluxe basses, the ET-285 was a Japanese-made bolt-neck bass and had little in common with older Epiphone body shapes and designs.
This example has seen quite a bit of changes. The most significant being the pickups. The originals have been replaced with new Epiphone Les Paul humbuckers. These pickups seem to give the bass a more modern sound and increase the tonal options. Paired with the vintage pots and cap and 3 way switch this bass can go from very thin with focused highs to fat and full and on to warm and jazzy. Incredibly well balanced with moderate weight. Set up with medium low action. The bridge has been changed a couple of times it seems, as evidenced by the holes filled around the current bridge. Tuners have been replaced with vintage Japanese closed back tuners. Upper strap pin has been relocated to the back. Truss cover is non-original. Truss works as it should. Frets are in good condition. Many dings and scratches as shown in the photos give this guy some real mojo. Pickguard has a couple cracks near the input jack. Long neck tenon extends under the neck pickup.
