EPIPHONE VIOLA BASS VS Epiphone introduces the Viola, one of the most recognized basses in the world. A popular bass for British Invasion bands who couldnt afford finer Gibson and Epiphone instruments, the Violas unique construction and woody tone produce unique sound on stage and in the studio. Today, vintage models are difficult to find and are often plagued by vintage problems along with their vintage price tag. Epiphone engineers have solved those problems with our Viola, which has the same classic sound with improved pickups, hardware, and electronics.
