These are great basses, and with a hipshot there should be no intonation problems. basically just a different shaped EB0. They are the bass models that go with the Crestwood, Wilshire etc electrics
There is also the [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/epiphone/bass/1962EpiphoneNewportDeluxe.php"]Epiphone Newport Deluxe[/url] - which is the two pickup (basically an EB3, but with a three-way switch rather than a varitone), and even a fuzztone model (one has never come up whilst i've been looking)
