In fact this is the copy of a model dating Gibdon 70's, which bears the same name. the bass is made in Korea. It dates from 90 years according to the seller and I want to believe. But it is not a current model, just like the original.

This one has a microphone hidden under the black plastic so I do not know at all how it is. In my opinion it is a simple. There's a tone and volume, all that he has more passive and simple.

Channel 20 frets, normal length, well, not short-scale. The key is maple, as I think the handle, which is not common in Epiphone, but the original model has the same round here douc There's exceptions everywhere.

The bass seems to keep the formal characteristics of its predecessor, but crops and round arched end. However wood still seems to be a weird thing with Epiphone has the secret, hidden under a veneer opaque (although the most part of Gibson are natural color). Light wood that not sound like wood when tapped. However the handle is a real handle quite heavy. So that the bass is neither heavy nor light. The handle is round, I would rather close to the head and thick as it should. Handle this, very interesting.

wholesale original bass and sober at a time.

UTILIZATION

The handle is screwed but access to the 20th box is good, if you do not want to play super fast.

the handle is nice again, virile and end at a time.

the weight is correct, for I against aps been able to use up because of the ATACHE courois which can be screwed. Either way you know it's the strap that is stability ...

For sound, well it's not complicated with a single microphone and a passive EQ. the pots are surprisingly effective for the Epiphone. The tone switches between a well round a brighter sound by adding the acute, progressive enough on a beach. For the rest ask your amp.

SOUNDS

At first it sounds great vacuum. We can work without connecting it with no problem. It has a nice sustain.

Good for sound amp (the main still ...) I can not necessarily speak because I have no amp. I record through an old Yamaha guitar preamp on the side of the light. I think it still has a nice little grain even if the sound parrait me a bit flat, so it sounded really good in store.

I'm on it is made for extreme sounds rather a basic rock record, even if the sound is easily tamable. In any case with modern amps is easy to make a big sound with anything, RAPORT a salesperson in a store that was low sound a little like a Squier Bronco Fury ...

Note that it supports the well-packed game, and can even slapper.

OVERALL OPINION

So it's low una original and fun for those who want ultimately to choose between a P-bass and a P-bass copy, since it is in the same register.

However it buzz a little, still it is a problem with a bit of weight over a main eq Possee hop on the ropes and you hear nothing. But then that means that the mail is not super reliable over time.
