I used to own an Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Standard bass. It was a great bass with awesome sound, but was heavy as heck. I stupidly traded it a couple of years back for a MIM Fender fretless J-bass. Looking back at it now I wish I would have held onto the Les Paul.

I am currently in the process of buying an Epiphone Ripper RI, and if I get it I will most definitely post some pics!

 

[wolfmancharlie]

We will be happy to see the pics

My first ever bass guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul Special in heritage cherry sunburst. It's bolt-on, 34" scale, with what i assume are two EMG Select bass humbuckers. I modded it by adding an aguilar 2-band preamp, which switched it from V/V/T/T to V/P/T/B, plus a bypass switch.

It's currently sitting in the case at my parents house, but here's an old picture of it.

Here it is, I just got it this afternoon! So far I really like it. It is in pretty good shape, but I do think I will be upgrading the PUPs and tuners soon. Otherwise I absolutely love it!!

Looks like some nice figuring on the body wood. Cool.

Blues Bassist that makes you #94. He wood on that bass is truly beautiful and Welcome to the club.

Thanks! Yeah I am really happy with the Ripper. I am normally (almost exclusively) a Fender guy but I must say that Epiphone did a great job with this instrument!

The Hamsterman,
Very nice to see you back onTB. You are # 95, wear it with pride. Epi club is coming to life.A very nice bass you have there, almost bought an LP like yours last year, but my local music store wouldn't budge on a trade.

Probably, if it's the guy from Ebay. Can't remember his user name but the pieces were very well made.

I had an Epiphone Les Paul Special and loved it. Unfortunately it was lost in my house fire. I am now thinking about buying a thunderbird pro 4. Does anyone have any experiance with the pro4?

Yes they are fine quality pieces.There are a few of us on TB who have done business with him and all are very nice .
