It's my first Alembic and I know it's a ower priced model but am curious anyway. valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 160 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 2:25 pm:    A 5 string Epic currently lists at 3700$.

The list price for a new Epic 5 string with no custom upgrades is $3,700. I don't know what you could get one for at a retail store. http://www.alembic.com/prod/prices.html jure_the_second Junior Username: jure_the_second Post Number: 16 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, August 08, 2003 - 5:31 am:    New one in a store would be around $2800. As you can see with age alembic basses lose their price (but not value!).

I bought my '96 5-string Epic for $900 (S/N: 96W10040). A definite steal if you ask me!!! (Message edited by zombierockstar on August 08, 2003)
