I'll probably get a beat down for saying it, but I like that style bridge over the three point. Like I said my brother played em for years and never had a three point. Just how I remember and love them.

Dunno about that. I once played one (borrowed) in a Cathedral for a service that was using parts of Bernstein's Mass. It sounded beautiful, Even the stuffy resident organist complimented me on its tone going through an old Acoustic 150 guitar head and a 301 cab. I had to keep the volume on 4 for that one. The room took care of the rest.
I hear you. Inspite of how much I love my 80 dollar dewalt hammer I bout, for a deck job that it just owned, I have used it for opening beers and lifting up hot grill grates. Sometimes a tool feels so good in your hands you find any excuse to use it.
All I can say is on looks, it looks great. Haven't needed adjustment.

Bass porn...
Congrats!
I had one in the 'high school wood shop project' natural, and it was a really cool bass. I discovered the preamp worked great for down-tuning, so it became my go-to for doomy stuff in C and D standard. With the treble dimed and the bridge pickup soloed, it sounded devastating through a tube amp with the gain cranked. Really gave the distortion lots of character.
Sadly, I just traded it away last week, as I have a Dingwall Combustion 5 coming, and have started to really stick to a one-in-one-out policy. For me, the neck was just too thin (thinnest one I owned, and among the thinnest I've ever played). Also, the cost has gone up so much from Epiphone that I basically traded it for what I paid for it. I'm sure I'll regret that eventually, but the Dingwall desire is just too strong.
Enjoy, and make sure to play it hard with a pick. It really nails that aggressive tone...

Ok, that's the bathroom pic. Now I believe we need one of the bass in the car, and one on the bed.
Like the box says, if my grandfather wasnt one I would probably wouldn't have been born
I pretty much only play with a pick, with all the love that gets lol.
I tried, but I got something from the admins, it basically said stuff about kids come here, what the hell is wrong with you, and you should probably see a doctor, blah blah.
You know, the usual, amiright?
