€1500... that's a lot of money for an Epiphone

Nice, but I don't dig that mis matched hardware on a 1200.00 bass- Lame.
Chris P.:
It sure is. It does come with a hard case, a better bridge, a brass nut and - I guess - some case candy. And it has the nine-ply neck. I guess The difference with a normal Epiphone is not as outrageous as the Kiss bass compared to an SG Bass.
I'll wait for the surf colour Birds!
Having said that: A normal Mexican P is over 1000 euros nowadays, without a gigbag. US Music Mans aren't available in Eurpe anymore - well, you can order them at Ernie Ball's in the US - so what we can get is the Asian Sterling by Music Man Ray34 as top of the line. Also over 1000 euros, but with a gigbag. Compared to that, it isn't that strange.
Ken:
This is an odd bird, so to speak. It's really just a VP. Neck-through and passive Probucker 760s. I agree with V about the mismatched hardware. The gold rings on nickel pickup covers is cheesy.
