The Epiphone U02122486 refers to an Epiphone "The Vinnie" Les Paul Standard Bass, a signature model for Vinnie Hornsby (bassist of Sevendust). This is a limited-run bass produced only from 2002 to 2005, making it fairly rare today. Key Specifications Body: Alder with a flame maple cap (carved top for that classic Les Paul look). Neck: Set maple neck, maple fingerboard with star inlays (including double stars at the 9th and 12th frets), chalice inlay on the headstock, and a 2-ply truss rod cover inscribed "The Vinnie Les Paul Standard". Scale: 34" (standard long scale for bass). Frets: 22. Nut Width: 1.65". Pickups: 2 EMG HB-SPL active humbuckers (split-coil capable for versatile tone—punchy, aggressive, and hot output). Electronics: Active circuit with 2 volume + 2 tone controls, black speed knobs. Hardware: Black hardware, 3-point bridge, single-ply body binding. Other Features: Known for no neck dive, solid playability, and a powerful sound suited to rock/metal styles. Serial Number Insight The serial U02122486 starts with "U", which corresponds to the Unsung factory in Korea (a common Epiphone producer in that era). The "02" likely indicates 2002 as the production year (or possibly early 2003 rollout), aligning with the model's 2003–2005 run. Epiphone serial formats from this period (like U + YY + etc.) often point to Korean-made instruments around the early 2000s. This bass stands out for its EMG active pickups (uncommon on many Epiphone Les Paul basses) and signature touches like the star inlays and custom headstock elements. It's praised for delivering warm, punchy tones with plenty of output—great for heavier genres.
