Although not a bass it's an epi nonetheless.
This Les Paul Junior was a dog, it had faulty wiring, the pickup wasn't lining up properly with the bridge and it sounded like sh!t. But it is one of the limited edition models which come with all mahogany construction and a set in neck rather than the alder body and bolt on maple neck of the normal Epi junior.
So I widened the pickup cavity, making it possible to get the pickup in the right position. Replaced the pickup itself with a Duncan P90 and the dodgy, flimsy bridge had to make way in favor of a tone pro's tailpiece.
And so with a little TLC I made this dog become the "Top Dog", it's a fun little guitar with a mean snarling sound.
