Thank you for viewing. This is an Epiphone Les Paul bass. The truss rod has plenty of room, and the frets have more than 80% remaining, making it very easy to play. There are signs of use on the body, small scratches, dents, and sticker residue on the paint of the escutcheon, but the instrument is in good condition. As expected from a manufacturer with a longer history than Gibson, it's a cost-effective model, but the fretwork and electronics are better than those of Japanese budget models. It's a passive bass, but this is the first time I've experienced a bass with this much low-end and power. I will pack it securely with a soft case, bubble wrap, and cardboard for shipping. Price reduction is not possible. Gibson
