Allen Woody Rumblekat

The Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat bass is the result of a historic collaboration with Epiphone and the late great Allen Woody, the legendary bassist for the Allman Brothers Band and Gov’t Mule. The Allen Woody Rumblekat is one of the few basses available today with a 30" scale length (compared to the "standard" scale length of 34"). But there are many more features that make the Rumblekat one of the great modern instruments for bassists today.

The Epiphone Allen Woody Limited Edition Bass comes with Epiphone’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and Gibson 24/7/365 Customer Service. Visit your Authorized Epiphone dealer today and discover the sound of a legend with the Allen Woody Rumblekat.

The Best Hardware In the Business

The Allen Woody Rumblekat’s road tested bridge, personally selected by Allen, is height-adjustable at three points, making for a bass that can easily conform to your playing style. Along with our Epiphone premium sealed gear 17:1 machine heads, a labeled tortoise shell style control plate, our all-metal output jack, and gold hardware, the Allen Woody Rumblekat is a beautiful instrument that comes with the security of knowing you can count on years of uninterrupted playing on stage and in the studio.

Epiphone Timeless Tone

The Allen Woody Rumblekat features NYT mini-humbucker bass pickups mounted in the middle and neck positions. With their smaller size, narrow magnetic field and unique design combination, the mini-humbucker produces a bright and focused output while retaining famous humbucker "hum-free" performance. A replica of vintage style mini-humbuckers, the Rumblekat’s pickups feature adjustable pole pieces, enamel wire, bar ceramic magnets and rounded gold plated covers set in a unique black mounting ring with height adjustment gold screws. Each pickup features full function volume knobs and a master tone knob using full-size 500K O potentiometers. As Bassics Magazine said in their review: "Using the tone knob and a little pickup bleeding, you can really get this thing to shake the walls in the lower register and have a nice open singing sound in the upper registers."

Timeless Construction and Style

The Allen Woody Rumblekat features a 2.1" thick sound chambered mahogany body. There are no f-holes and the body, neck, and headstock are set off by white binding around the edges which compliments the stunning Wine Red finish and gold hardware making for a truly distinctive instrument. The top of the Rumblekat is made of 5-ply flame maple. Check out the translucent finish on the sides and back which show off the mahogany’s grain pattern. This is a beautiful instrument! The bound rosewood fingerboard features 20 frets and our Sloped Dovewing 2+2 headstock which also includes Allen Woody’s distinctive signature.
