Worth messing with?

I wouldn't mind playing around with one of these, but I don't want the balance issues of a full reverse Tbird.  Is there any chance this body would semi-balance?

that's Brooklyn, Michigan.  The wood-chippers are actually used on wood there.

The Elites are pretty cool. Go for it - that would make a great project.

T'bird by name, T'bird by nature... just because she has "Epi" on the neck, what do you think...?

Probably true.  It just didn't look as radical as some.

If I play with one of those, it may need to be a non-reverse.

NRs aren't exactly well balanced either.

That's an Epi Pro IV.  I paid $100 for mine delivered except it has the original brass nut and perfect paint.  Good bass.  I'd spend the extra $$ and buy a new one for $400.  Some of them DO have trussrod issues, especially the ones without serial numbers.  Just because it turns doesn't mean it works correctly.

Interesting!! I knew you guys would have some info on this beastie.  I think I'll pass.
