Description
Pre-owned Epiphone Goth Explorer Bass, rare find! Condition is definitely “player” as it shows road wear of paint chips around the edges of the headstock and body, some places the matter finish has worn glossy, please see photos. Comes with Epiphone hardshell case.
Made in May 2002 at the the Unsung factory in Korea at tail end of the golden age of Gibson (1990-2002 Gibson were under ownership that insisted consistent quality from every instrument, even the Korean epiphone factory)
It’s definitely not a Korina or standard explorer bass as the single XII inlay at the 12th fret indicates (this was the same on the other epiphone gothic models) on the rosewood fretboard.
Bridge has been upgraded to a new hipshot and a brass nut has been professionally added during bridge setup to accommodate thicker stings for low A, B or C standard or drop tuning.
Knobs were upgraded to Orange™️ amplifier knobs
Original TB-PLUS™️ pickups are WAY better than you would expect.
