Feature:
The features on this bass is okay, nothin' fancy. You have your standard black crome hardware & standard transparent color finish. You might want to replace the strap buttons on there & put on some strap locks.

Quality:
I think it's made well, but you have to make sure you find one or order one without any flaws before you buy it. There is no guarantee that a low priced bass like this one, or any bass, will not fall apart or break. If you take really good care of it, it should last you a couple of years or so.

Value:
It's worth it's price, I guess. I mean, you'll definitely get what you've paid for.

Desirability:
I don't think I, or anyone else, would lust over this bass. But I do think it's a practical bass to learn & practice on until you can afford a beautful Fender or Gibson model.

Sound:
The sound is quite good, especially when you use the neck pickup a little more. Remember, you get what you paid for. But if you want a better bass sound, you might want to change the pickups in the near future.

Ease of Use:
The neck is a fast & easy to play. The nut is the size of a Fender Jazz bass, which is great for people with smaller hands.

Support:
I've never dealt with the company, but 2 of the black tuning pegs were starting to brake off due to overwinding the strings. So I tried to replace the pegs, but couldn't find any that fit, so I don't play that bass anymore.

Overall:
It's a cool bass if you're just starting out. But after 2 years, you might want to upgrade to something better, like maybe a Fender Standard Precision or Standard Jazz Bass.

Feature:
It would be better if it had some different inlays. The glossed neck is smooth and quick.

Quality:
The construction is great. No scratches or anything.

Value:
It is worth $269.99. Let me correct mysel... BUY IT PLEASE!!!

Desirability:
If the picyure had a hot chick holding it, i would have bought even if i didn't play bass.

Sound:
It is great with my tiny amp, but the strings rattle every now and then.

Ease of Use:
It is extremely easy to use, but it is a little heavy.

Support:
I have not had to contact Epiphone since i got this basss 7 months ago.

Overall:
I think this should last me a good 10-15 years as a back up bass.
