My P basses never had this issue, but my Jazz bass, twice a year, same with my Laklands (55-94s).

Can I join? I picked up this Epi as an inexpensive backup and I'm liking it way more than I thought I would. Mods so far:
- Added additional strap buttons to compensate for neck dive.
- Removed the truss rod cover because it was warped. The headstock looked plain without it so I put an eagle inlay sticker on it.
- Didn't like the white pickguard. Intended to replace it with black but discovered that the wood underneath looks really nice, so going with no pickguard.
- Did not like the 3-point bridge. Replaced it with a hipshot supertone.
- Put on a hipshot extender because I do that with all of my basses.
- Replaced the knobs with jazz bass knobs.

Is that the bolt-on Epi? If so, personally I'd look at a p'up change, if you're into throwing down... there are some here who'll recommend from a list of oft-talked about replacements.

Once you replace the neck, body, wiring harness, tuners, nut, frets and strings, you'll be good to go!
Seriously, welcome to the ride.

That's a real buzz-killer! Hope they get it fixed soon!
I've apparently brought a whole new meaning to "luck of the Irish".
First they gotta figure out what's wrong with it.

Nah, that is the definition. if it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all!I've apparently brought a whole new meaning to "luck of the Irish".
AFAIK, the 'great hose in the sky' has decided I don't get a new vehicle-that'll take me anywhere I wanna go.
Second try for Thunderbird Thursday action shot. I was only able to download one of the picture from the show we played last Saturday....
I can jump like that. The landing however would make it on "Ridiculousness".
