I'd be interested to know anything about it! Last owner kept in in a closet for YEARS! I'm guessing it's a 94 by the SN, but other than the tarnished Brass, the bass is like new. anthenium Junior Username: anthenium Post Number: 21 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 - 3:50 am:    The Body! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8407 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2015 - 6:11 pm:    Hi Anthony, Here's what I found in the instrument file: serial: 94W8295 name: Epic model: WLB5 top: Bird's-eye Maple accent: Purpleheart pinstripe body: Mahogany shape: Epic neck: 5-piece Maple scale: 34" long scale, set neck construction fingerboard: Ebony inlays: none side markers: bronze dots peghead: Cone 3+2 pickups: MXY56 electronics: "Epic" volume, pan, bass, treble, mono output finish: satin natural polyurethane (oil-look) backplate: plastic hardware: polished brass originally made for: J Gravity Strings, MO birthday: Not recorded (!) but soon after 4-14 1994 according to the rest of the build record, and based on the adjacent serial numbers, it's probably 4-21.
