Epiphones new bass model

[Chef]

I'm intrigued.
Two new pickup designs I've not seen in bassdom, in an attractive semi-hollow package.

Yeah, color me intrigued. I'd love to try it and see what it has to offer!

Them pickups are the big suprise.

Wish it wasn't an Epiphone. Also wish it was unlined. But I could live with the Epi part and probably the lined board as well. Glad it's 34". Doesn't look like a bass you'd want to play standing anyhow (looks like it'd be right at home in the hands of a seated jazz bassist, which is what I am on most gigs), so neck dive wouldn't be an issue here. Looking forward to seeing more images and possibly hear some clips.

Hmm.....

I sure hope you like the type of strings, the action height, and the overall intonation on the bass! Because if you don't...........

There's not going to be too much you can do about it. The bridge looks like just the basic non adjustable type. Maybe it slides back and forth on the top? I'm not convinced you'll be able to do much with what's on there.

I do agree that it's way cool that Epi is trying to step out of the norm though.

Keep Low

Dang it, I thought my GAS was in remission!

Reading more info on the link the OP provided, Epi really seems to have something unique but useful here!

Too bad the fretless is only going to be available in natural but I will live!

Definitely curious enough about it based on what I've seen so far that I'll certainly try one when they get them in at the local Long & McQuade.

The Epiphone website says it isn't semihollow. It is "acoustically chambered". I guess it has more wood on the body than a regular semihollow.

14 new models for 2010 and only one bass? Dang.

Would it kill them to make the Les Paul standard?

(actually it probably would kill them, as I think i'm the only one that would buy one).

Wrong. I would love to buy a Les Paul Standard bass that was affordable.
