Hey, i was wondering if any of you guys have played the Epiphone Viola bass?
I really like the look of the Viola but i haven't had the chance to play one yet, I'm looking to get a new bass and this seems a decent price, if anyone could help me out on this it would be very much appreciated!:thumb:

Also looking at Rickenbackers i know there's a bit of a difference in price:p but hey its christmas time:chug: Would you all recommend buying one?again any replys would be appreciated.

the epiphone look great, but for the price, the jay turser version is a bit better. and rickenbackers pwn, never played one, but they pwn in looks and sound. geddy lee used one for a while, and chris squire from yes, and a few others i cant remember. but yeah, good luck choosing. :thumb:

Thanks man, ill look into the jay turser version then, Yeah haven't played a Ric but they do look class and iv heard they're really versatile, which i've also heard can be the downfall of the viola bass!

I've always heard Rics weren't very versatile at all...

True, the Ric sound isn't for everyone
