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 fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 545 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 11:27 am:    That's right, OW is the "code" for Orion basses davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5206 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 11:47 am:    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. markrc1964 New Username: markrc1964 Post Number: 8 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 3:25 pm:    So it is an Orion....thanks chaps markrc1964 New Username: markrc1964 Post Number: 10 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 3:37 am:    Hello again, so where dosethe Orion fall in the league of things...is the Orion top, mid, or bottom of the Alambic tree?? regards Mark fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 547 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 4:15 am:    All Alembics are top Check the price list: Click here That would make: Excel Epic Orion Essence Persuader Spoiler Elan Rogue Signature Standard Distillate Europa Brown bass Signature Deluxe Dragon Wing Dragon Wing Deluxe Spyder Limited Ed.

See the post in the main Alembic forum. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5319 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 - 7:27 pm:    Hi Mark; as Tom mentioned, there's been some news.
