Play it well. -Bob navybass Junior Username: navybass Post Number: 28 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2006 - 2:27 pm:    I have to find out a bit on this bass. If I read the serial number right it's a 93 because it starts out 93 XXXX. I thought they started making Epics in 1994. bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1014 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2006 - 2:47 pm:    I know that discussion came up here before, so I don't think you're the first one to find one dated '93. Let me look... okay... I just looked it up and found that one had a maple top, a build date in late November '93 and was serial number 93W8025. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 517 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2006 - 4:31 am:    Nice Epic john.

I'm a guitarist myself, but once I got my hands on my Tribute, I realized everything had changed for the better forever and I'm never looking back.
