LemonCello Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Played one of these recently. Shortscale and light, due to semi hollow body (no f holes though). Good looking thing too, wine red plus gold hardware, was quite impressed with the build quality. Shop wanted £350. LemonCello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nice bass, totally get what they're about, and a really nice alternative to the Hofner Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilLordJuju Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yeah, they are really good instruments, and exceptional value for money in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 i owned one of these & a Gibson SG bass (both at the same time) & the Epi' was just as good a bass as the Gibson & was just as well made--but £600 cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 If I saw one for that price and there was nothing seriously wrong with it and I liked how it played I'd have bought it - sounds like a bargain to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 aren't they £350 new or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretlessguy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I've owned one for about five or so years now. Very pretty and pretty sounding. They get a good tone with the pressurewound strings I use, but I imagine they would be quite good with flats. With both pickups full volume and the tone turned down they are quite deep and muddy sounding. I actually turn the neck pick up down in volume to get more of a midrange sound. I use it when playing folk music of different kinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
