Epiphone Powerbass for 125$, good bass?

Hi guys and gals,

I have the ability to buy an Epiphone Powerbass II for about €100.
(Which is 125$ I believe.)
Is it a good bass for the money?
I already have a "Fender" Precision (a Fender MiM P neck with a Squier Affinity alder body), a Squier VM Jazz Bass, a bass I'm building myself (P-style body with J-style neck and a MusicMan Humbucker on the Precision sweetspot).

Is it a good bass for the money, and is there something I need to watch or be aware of? This particular bass has problems with the input jack I know, when it has hooked inputcable, it sometimes doesn't make contact, but I can replace that.


So this bass:
