Hello I'm just about to buy used Alembic Epic 5 - i have only 20h left for decision! Im courious becouse as far as i see my model with serial number 97W11229 has got GOTOH tuners without A logo and with diffrent shape comparing to some of i found on web. I would like to buy fully original model. Can you tell me if everything is ok with it? Are this parts original? Why there is no logo on tuners? I would lke to know more about history of this bass too. Thanks Ps. I already love your basses   | ||

Lots of times there's no A on the tuners - it depends if we have them in stock or not. I can't tell you if the bass is still original from 1997 - that was a long time ago. Those tuners are Gotohs, and they are our preferred shape (we have a new shipment coming in soon and we special order them in this old style). | ||

I finally got, and already play two gig's. It's amazing bass! Speaking about a machineheads. They're rather worn out. I would like to replace them with those with A logo. How can i order them ? | ||

Hi Stanislaw, Here's what I found out about your bass: model name: Epic model number: WLB5 top: Megaflame Walnut* accent: Maple body: Mahogany neck: 5-piece Maple with 4 Walnut pinstripes scale: 34" long fingerboard: Ebony pickups: MXY56 controls: "Epic" volume, pan, bass, treble, mono output originally made for: Guitar Center birthday: January 9, 1998** *This is the only time I've seen Megaflame Walnut noted, it must be very pretty! **Since the serial number is under the finish, it was stamped in 1998, even though the bass was finished a few days later in 1999 I sent you an email with some other details about replacing tuners if you like. |
