"Great bass"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This bass was my first bass guitar and I have owned it for about 4 years, It is a very well playing bass and light for its size, the neck is nice and slim compared to most Epiphones I have played. It is probably one of my favorite Epiphones in my collection.
Sound
It has a nice simple P bass setup, it doesn't sound the best in a cheaper amp, but it sounds great with a nicer more powerful amp. Like most Epiphone basses I have owned or played the pickups I find are kind of underwhelming.
Features
The bass is simple, the tone you can get out of this bass is pretty much the same all around the board. The volume knob came loose and the electronics weren't grounded properly. I had to repair this bass quite a few times from use, but I like how playable it is, I like the neck and the light feel of this bass. Was so much lighter than the Squier P I had.
Ease of Use
The bass is very playable and easy to use.
Quality
The bass is not the best quality concerning the electronics. I constantly had to fix mine and tighten things.
Value
The bass was a nice price, It was worth the money.
Manufacturer Support
Never used any.
The Wow Factor
The bass looks nice, mine is pretty scratched but I still love it. I mainly use Fenders nowadays but the body shape of the bass appealed to me when I bought it.
