Construction
The Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat bass is one of the very few basses on the market measuring in at 30" scale length (compared to the "standard" scale length of 34".) That alone makes this bass feel, sound and play different to most people, but there are a host of other features that make this bass unique.
The Rumblekat also features a 2.1" thick sound chambered mahogany body of the Epiphone Kat series design. There are no f-holes in its design, and the body, neck and headstock have an off-white binding around the edges which beautifully compliments the wine red finish and gold hardware while adding a nice touch of distinction to the appearance of the instrument. The specs of the bass list the top as 5 ply flame maple, which is a great feature. The sides and back on the other hand have a translucent finish which shows the grain of the mahogany.
A bound rosewood fingerboard and 20 frets top off the set-in neck which also features truss rod access through the Clipped Dovewing 2+2 headstock. Naturally, an Allen Woody signature graces the face of the headstock as well.
Electronics/Hardware
Two mini-Humbucker pickups mounted in the middle and neck positions are the source of the passive electronics. Each of these pickups features its own volume knob alongside a master tone knob.

Other hardware features include sealed gear machine heads, a labeled tortoise shell control plate, and an output jack on the side of the bass right underneath the tone knob.
