Aufruf Herr Uwe - Epi les paul content..
« on: February 18, 2010, 09:55:34 AM »
Uwe, I saw an old post of yours about the epi "vinnie" lp bass,, you mention you have a prototype epi les paul bass?
Do you have any pictures you might be able to share?  Is it Korean or US built?  Sounds really cool!


"Never played one of those, but while a maple LP sounds somewhat like as a crime against nature conceptually, my maple prototype Epi LP sounds great. This Vinnie thing should be a snappy affair together with the EMGs."

Just recently did some rehearsal recordings with it and it struck me again how Ric'ish it sounds.

Its so green it should have called "money bass".
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

Makes sense with the maple neck thru and very rickish pup placement, was it US built or Korean? what style headstock?

Epi'nesque the headstock is. Supposedly built in the USA according to what the seller (Bruce) told me at the time who had obtained it from a Gibson/Epi-employee in the US.
