Epiphone Club

Oooooh. That's amusing. I'm afraid of doing the next 5-string Pro-V I find, but its planned.

I abhor the mess that remains when frets are pulled. Do they slide out like Fenders or pounded in on the board?
I don't know how they do it. I am lazy and unskilled, so I spent money to get a luthier to do the work. He refilled the slots with walnut veneer that is very similar to the color of the fretboard. It's harder making the dots disappear. Sharpie kinda works, but not as well as I would like.

The funny thing about it is that there's always one weird guy in the audience who stares at it the whole time, trying to figure out what he's looking at. It's not exactly the kind of groupie I would pick, given a choice, but it's still funny. To me anyway.
 
I want a number...

The Epiphone Club is issuing membership numbers again. If you would like an Epiphone Club number, the

are simple. Just show us a photo, or photos of you Epiphone Bass, or Basses, and request a number. That's it.

And don't forget to post photos of you amps too, if you want to. We love photos of amps too.

Gday, @mr zee I don’t think numbers are given out these days. I asked in 2016 and - to my knowledge - never received one.
It is what it is. I still hang around to check out the Epiphones.
