mr zed Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I was handed an alpine white version of one of these last night in the rehearsal room to try it out by the owner (of the studio and the bass). Put the Volume on full (of course) tone wide open and capacitor setting on 5000. Wow!!! This would cut through any mix. Fantastic and very playable bass. Got gas again!

ahpook Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 If you can live with the neck dive then they're amazing. I can, cos they're amazing. Did I mention the amazing bit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Used mine at rehearsal last night, this was after recently buying and having a chat over a coffee, with its previous owner Horace Panter. This might not seem a big deal to some, but to me (as a bass player in a Ska band) it was one of the highlights of my life Im a die hard Precision bass player, but the JC just might turn into my number 1 Ska Machine.

RhysP Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 They are excellent basses, the one I had was lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 It's about the only bass from the Epiphone/Gibson catalogue I'd look to buy. There was a second had one in a my local music shop and I was very tempted to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I bought one about a month ago and arranged for a friend to collect it for me as it was local to him. He still has it - hoping to get it next time he's in sunny Herts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I used one today at a gig for the very first time. It was great. Rock/pop covers gig, It belongs to a mate who'd agreed to lend it to me to buy if I wanted it. Strung with TI flats, nicely set up, it was the mutts nuts. Needless to say he's not having it back...!

dannybuoy Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I was gassing for one of the limited edition white ones for a while but it seems they're now all out of stock! Oh well, one might turn up used one day or they might come out with an even funkier custom colour option (not the Union Jack version)!

Sounds absolutely stupendous, I'd give one a go even if you're not into the looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to find somebody with a black one who was prepared to trade pick ups and scratch plates so they had all black, me all white.
