I want to try one. I had a line of a pelham blue 2013 NR for $850 but did not have the $$ to spare at that time.
Not sure. I think there is a small market that they could tap into and maybe get somebody famous to play one?

850 for that bass is a good deal.

Hi Andii, how about some pictures, there are a few folks hanging out here that aren't familiar with your work.

Uwe probably told me, but I was on sensory overload at the time........
I'd be all over it f it was built to the same specs as the Eppi VP but in NR form.
I'm here all week folks, don't forget to tip your waitress.
HA! When in school I was working as a waiter in FLA, and we used to cringe when we saw "Je me souviens" license plates pull up to the parking lot of the restaurant.....NOOOO!!!!..

But of course, where are my manners!
All but the middle one, are my builds from scratch. From left to right:
Soon to be double bound EB-2 semi hollow flat top medium 32" scale bass w/faux maple quilt/flame top & back, Soon to be Ripper bass replica w/bolt on neck, 70's Maya Grabber copy (got this near end December of 2017 for cheap w/original case. Everything except for the output jack (i upgraded myself) is original on the bass. Next the Infamous Tigerbird complete with Reverse Duncan QP pbass splits, & Classic stack Jazz set in Humbucker form at the bridge. Wired to a single kill switch for quick on/off use. Reverse b.c.Rich 4 in line style headstock & to top off Burnt up & down all sides with a blow torch & sealed in satin finish. Next is my bud's RD build in which i've just recently revamped/tweaked & staining the whole thing in black, sealed in semi gloss finish.
Here's Tiger all on her own. Thing of beauty, roar of a beast! This was my third build, my first being A grabber replica for my father. If any newcomers are curious in my work, click this shameless thing.

That would seem like a winning next step for Epiphone - produce a gen 1 T-bird II and a late 60's non-reverse in the RI mode like the VP.

Yes, in Cardinal red or Pelham Blue - it's a sign of the times that basses only come in a very limited number or colours. The Fender Performer (only made 1 year- 1/2 year '85- 1/2 year '86) came in 5 traditional & untraditional colours.
Thank you, i'm finishing up the final tweaks of the RD bass for friday upcoming. Minor things that i kicked myself two years ago for not having done in the first place. But hey, it's a lot better looking & feeling now than it was when i first completed it.
