Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized dealer

So what do you want and what do you get for your money? For starters, an instrument that will turn heads and draw eyes in any company. With its Advanced Jumbo body shape, select Spruce top, Mahogany body and Natural finish, the El Segundo-IV has a classic appearance and a superbly balanced raw tone. Then there’s the sheer comfort. With its medium-length 32 in. scale hard Maple neck and accommodating fretboard, both delicate and thumping basslines can be coaxed out with equal conviction.

We know what you’re thinking. Acoustic basses have always been expensive -- and one that looks this good must be the reserve of the rock aristocracy. The truth is, while the stellar features of the El Segundo-IV mean it can deliver the goods on any stage from a front room to a festival, Epiphone have fought hard to keep the price at a point that doesn’t exclude anyone.

The new El Segundo-IV isn’t exactly shy when you play it unplugged. But perhaps the most important factor of this bass is that it combines a convenient undersaddle piezo pickup with Epiphone’s passive preamp, allowing you to take your basslines to the stage and tailor the tone to perfection with the EQ and volume controls. You don’t even need a battery to power this baby. zZounds is an authorized dealer of products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "King/Queen of the Inexpensive"

Sound: Sound is quite exceptional for a $200 bass. Very even sounding not too bright. If the bass came with Bronze Wound strings, that would be optimal for un amplified playing. The bass should record well. Feature: For a passive electronic system it is fine. Nice and simple a tone and a volume! The bass came with a cheap cord, which I will never use. The finish is very nice looking. Heavy on the laquer, should take a beating...not on purpose of course! Ease of Use: Of course it is not a Martin or an Earthwood, but for $200 it is dandy. I had to spin the truss rod about 3/4 turn to tighten it up and put the saddle on the grinder to not only lower it, but there was a dead spot on the D string when amplified. This usually means either the saddle is not sitting straight or the actual transducer is kinked or not seated properly. Every thing is fine now! You may or may not have to adjust yours as radically as I did. Almost every newly purchased guitar requires some set up attention! Quality: Excellent quality for $200. Certainly built to last. We'll see if I have any loose bracing in 5-10 years?!! I doubt it! Value: Oh, just go and buy it. You really cannot go wrong. You will not find anything comparable unless you hawk ebay and get a fluke good sounding no-namer. I would have paid probably $100 bucks more for this. Manufacturer Support: I am sure they would be responsive, it seems that with all the paperwork that came with the bass, all the grievance apparatus seems to be in place...hey, I'm an optimist The Wow Factor: Sex appeal?? that's and odd take....but anyway modify it on your own, make it yours, customize it! Overall: I would get another! I like everything about it, I just want to play it and attempt to get better on the bass. I have a few electrics already
