Made in China, easel set of three screws, handle screw,
one humbucker, one volume and one tone.
The body will be against poplar plywood, the handle, perhaps mahogany.
The finish is at least of association, the table is not close to super interested, it smells like soaking in paint, varnish and plastic kind basta.
e all do a little the effect of a toy.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, pretty cool, même.L access to acute is not transcendent, not super easy, which, because of the horn is being bothered a bit in the last race freight. Otherwise it is rather light and easy to handle. (A condition of the rule.)
I tested an hour in store, quietly, and have not had the opportunity to play up, so I can not say whether the head or look point.

SOUNDS

A sound card. Super disappointed! I have not tested the epiphone EB3 from home, but if it approaches the level of the gibson it is said, this is by no means the case will cele!
The sound is hollow. The microphone we make a guess anyway intérret, it hums a little when you go down in the treble, but bass are very far from those of the gibson.
So we once again feel like a toy in his hands.
I relativized, the instrument that I tested was not or poorly resolved. The microphone is set to 2KM ropes, so maybe this explains it sound hollow, and basta ... I think there are ways to have a good sound with this mic, but mounted on a wood also sucks, it is pure waste!
Well ok it is cheap ... And indeed there is ...

OVERALL OPINION

Having tested a gibson IB0 and being stunned by is full and warm, I turn to Epiphone to see if we can find a "substitute" for less.
It was in a shop known as the center of Rennes I tested it and it is set at € 247!
So ok, € 130 (the price at which it is found in cheaper on the net), it's really cheap.
But then the guys they push the cork! Sell ​​low price to both thiers more expensive than average, and not even set!
So if you live in Rennes, you want to buy a cheap bass and that is enticing, DO NOT BUY THE ONE!
I have not tested the eb 3, which apparently is much more profitable in the price / quality ratio. But it is the same as the low-Daisy Daysy ROCK that I offered two years ago to rave.
So for this price (around € 150), it's still not bad, considering the quality of the handle and micro.Mais in these waters there or close to it was a squier precision, already more interesting, perhaps be ...
Epiphone, you disappointed me!!
