Anyone heard of or seen these? It's the Bass Guitar Of The Month at Music 123, whatever that means. Musician's Friend also carries them.
They seem to have one Fender Precision-style pickup and one Jazz-type one.
Official hype:
A '70s Gibson classic!
The Limited Edition Ripper Bass brings back a Gibson favorite of the '70s. It is an Epiphone creation with a hard maple body and matching maple neck and fingerboard. The back of the neck has a satin finish for smooth feel while the fingerboard has a high gloss polyurethane finish that will protect it for years. A brass nut has been added to increase sustain. Another new wrinkle is a split-coil, single-coil pickup combination with individual volumes, master tone, and 3-way switching for greater tonal range. A great bass from the past with its unique styling and custom touches that enhance performance.
