VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: very woody, deep and rich. stays in tune well. As with most acoustic/electric basses, you will need an amp if you are doing anything more than practicing by yourself. I run it through a Hartke Kickback 12, and it sounds wonderful. Feature: Battery compartment a little tough to get into, but pre-amp works well. Ease of Use: very playable. you are not going to be burning up the frets, but this is the wrong instrument for that! Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with Epiphone. The Wow Factor: It works for what I need it for. It is a large instrument, so make sure you can carry it onstage. Overall: I bought this one based on price and availability...they had it at the local store. Wife talked me into it. I love playing it. I am going to use it until it won't work anymore. Not sure what I will do then.

Sound: Acoustically this bass sounds amazing...I played a few more expensive ones and the sound quality is the same or better. Feature: I went middle of the road here. The on board electronics/preamp look great but I don't know how they sound. The input jack is grounding out. Straight from opening it up, I couldn't plug it into my amp it just buzzes really loud. Even though you get a little card that says the electronics were tested. Ease of Use: Once again middle of the road. I cant use it plugged in! Also due to the abnormal shape of the sound hole getting to the rear strap input is almost impossible for anyone with a fore arm. Quality: This bass is beautiful! My neck has quite a bow in it, I tried to simply adjust the truss rod but it was almost completely tightened! I have a fair buzz on my E string 12th fret, then a dead fret on the G string 14th fret. But after I spend the money to have the neck professionally set up it should be fine. Value: You get what you pay for. Comparing models in this price range this one sounded the best.
