Epiphone Viola Bass - A viable Hofner Beatle Bass alternative?? Demonstration of sounds and review

This unsponsored video will feature the Epiphone Viola Bass. Can this be a viable alternative to the Hofner Beatle Bass? We will play through some of the sounds available on this instrument (with stock roundwounds) and have a playing example with a drum track. A discussion of the pros and cons will follow. To best appreciate the sonic differences, quality headphones or speakers are recommended. The bass was recorded direct through a Line6 Pod Go - B15 model. No EQ or compression was added in post. 00:00 Intro & Specs 01:16 Sound demonstration 04:41 Track with drums 06:27 Discussion & Assessment https://jonathanwong.bandcamp.com
