A super cool 1970s Epiphone ET-280 bass.

It’s had a life and has dings and chips in the paint which is not surprising given its age but it’s all part of the charm.

The pickups have been upgraded in the past with Hofner ‘Staples’ that sound great and give a real punch. I have the originals (without surrounds) but it’s probably best to leave it with the Hofners.

The pickguard has been broken and repaired around the jack socket area but it all works fine.
The frets are in good shape and it plays nicely.

Quite a rare instrument and full of 70s cool.

Comes with a good quality TKL case.
