I have played the Epi version and it does sound excellent.

Since many people coming to the Ranch to take a workshop with Jack own his Epi, I have had to try it a little.
It does sound great (especially in Jack's hands of course) but I doubt very much I will ever get one.
A) I don't "need" another bass.
B) The neck seemed a /i{little{ fat around as I remember.
C) I have decided to strictly stick with short scale.

Same video but with intro and higher res.

Here is a vid, btw, of Jack playing the same Gibson bass (which Jeffrey pointed out) that he modeled his Epi version after:
