"This Bass ROCKS!!! I just got back from NY, LA, and Omaha. I couldn't put the thing down and it fit perfectly on both gig styles. From Anna's pop/rock vein to full out stadium country with Rodney,this thing delivers. It passed the club/theater test and the 10,000 people test. I am very pleased with this instrument. The best "B" string on ANY multi-string I have ever owned (there have been a FEW) and my sound man for Rod said that was the cleanest tone I had ever had. I look forward to the future together."
Sean Smith
"I have an EP5 which I love. I've played for 30 yrs and I think this is the best bass I've ever owned. And believe me I've owned everything from Alembic, Steinberger, Pedulla, Fenders, G&L and everything in between. The Ep5 is by far the best. I can't say enough good things about the Craftsmanship to the Sound to the Playability. Smokin'!!"
