I own a 1972 jazz bass that is just dripping with mojo. I bought an Epic 4 string recently, and am honestly floored by the tone, quality of the build, and playability of the Alembic. They are two very different basses, but I have not been able to put the Epic down since I've acquired it. I'll pick up the Fender again soon, but I'm favoring the Epic. It's nice to have both in my arsenal. Welcome to the club. I've discovered a whole new world with my Epic, and I hope you do as well. ojo New Username: ojo Post Number: 3 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Monday, April 14, 2008 - 9:56 am:    wm, I am with you on that. I have an old G&L L-2000 that was my baby, but I just keep picking up my "new" epic. Something about the hi-fi tone just speaks to me, and the damn thing calls my name. Terrace, the epic is a cool instrument and a little different than other basses. Very cool. terrace New Username: terrace Post Number: 3 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - 4:43 pm:    Guys, I LOVE this bass! I spent a few days setting it up as per Joeys fabulous tips and used it for last weekends bar gig.It has that big fat sound I've been craving for years.Now I'm thinking that an Essence with the filter might be my next purchase.Why did I wait so long ? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5394 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2008 - 7:34 pm:    Hi Cory, Here's the details from the file: 96W9861 WLB4 Epic bass top: Flame Walnut accent: Maple pinstripe body: Mahogany set neck: 3-piece Maple, 34" long scale fingerboard: Ebony pickups: 2 Alembic MXY controls: "Epic" volume, pan, bass, treble, mono output birthday: April 24, 1996 originally made for: Guitar Center Glad to hear you're enjoying the bass!
