I dont like Epi basses...Epi only does good Gibson models in my opinion...their (new) non-Lp/Sg guitars are not too nice.
Jay Turser makes so nice guitars, but I have never seen a bass made by him, if they are as nice as the guitars, you can expect a bass with beauty and playabilty far exceeding its price.
