• Now I'm happy

  
  As reviewed by Joseph Petrino on 2/17/2012

  I really wanted to buy the Gibson LP jr. but just couldn't justify that price in this economy so I bought the Rumblekat as a way keep me happy until I had the money to get the Gibson. I don't think I'll ever buy the Gibson. The Rumblekat sounds better in my opinion. She has a deep tone that I guess the chambered body gives her. The humbuckers are smooth as silk. The finish is very pretty and the neck is effortless to play. When I held her in my arms I knew I had found the one. All the positive comments here and on other sites are absolutely correct, this bass is a steal at this price. Let me point out two negatives however. 1) The intonation setup from the factory is way off (on mine) so I had to spend time getting that right. 2) You will need a good 4" strap because she is balanced towards the neck and you'll be fighting that otherwise. The added bonus is that your really getting the Gibson vibe at a fraction of the price. Thank you Epiphone, good job.

• Great Bass!

  Plays great! Set-up from Gibson was ready right out of the box (after a quick tune). The "made in China" quality is good for the money. A few plastic shavings still attached to the nut, and a few fret chamfers needed minor filing, and the rosewood thins out ever so slightly at the binding near string #1 (G) from frets 1 thru 3, but I'm knit-picking at this point. I'll see how it holds up. Overall it's beautiful to look at and it really does have gorgeous tone. I find it to sound great with fingers or pick. If you play fingers just volume-up the amp a bit, and add a little treble, if that's your liking. Nice bass!

• Beautiful Bass

  
  As reviewed by Ray DiLorenzo on 9/8/2010

  I am mainly a guitar player, but I purchased this bass because it was so easy to play and had a beautiful finish. I have owned it for about a year and have had a lot of fun with it. Nice warm tone for blues or jazz. Sounds the way a bass should sound. Excellent bass for the money. Very light and easy to hold. Get the Epiphone case with it. They sell a good case for the money.
