Hello (yes I'm British) I played an Alembic in a music shop (that's what we call a store in the UK) fell in love, but was far too expensive for me at the time....Thank you E-Bay I own one now. I know nothing at all about the bass except she sings like an angel. Please help....thank you |

Hi Mark; while you are waiting for the next round of serial number searches, you might enjoy perusing the other Epics in our Showroom section, which includes a few six string Epics like yours. |

Hello, Dave....first of all..I'm a new memeber, and thanks for you return. I don't think it's an Epic...I think (looking through this web-site...it's an Orion (three numbers before the W) Coool site, Thanks again Dave Regards Mark |

Whoops! My mistake! There's actually two numbers, the 98 is the code for the year 1998. As Flip pointed out, the third character is the letter O; and OW is indeed the code for an Orion bass. |

Don't be afraid...they will turn us to stone, but we're used getting stoned. (I might be only speaking for myself here...) |

Mica hopes to be back on a part time bass-is around the 25th, but it might be a bit longer before she gets back to the S/N requests. See the post in the main Alembic forum. |
