Feature:
Battery compartment a little tough to get into, but pre-amp works well.

Desirability:
It works for what I need it for. It is a large instrument, so make sure you can carry it onstage.

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.

Ease of Use:
very playable. you are not going to be burning up the frets, but this is the wrong instrument for that!

Support:
Never dealt with Epiphone.

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.
