Here's what's in the file:

96W9811 WLB4 Epic bass
top: Flame Walnut
accent: Maple
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple, 34" long scale
fingerboard: Ebony
pickups: MXY
controls: volume, pan, bass, treble
finish: satin natural polyurethane
originally made for: S.N.M.
birthday: April 2, 1996

There are no registered owners of this bass. If you haven't done so already, please register your bass.

I don't recall who S.N.M. is, but my mom thinks it might have been a one-time sale to Russia. Hope this helps.

I think it's a company name, and if I ever remember or find out, I'll let you know!

Mark, if your Dad does computers maybe he can drop by, introduce himself, and post some pictures. As a fellow Epic guy I'd love to see it.
