Brilliantly looking Epic, there have been some internal repairs though... smokin_dave Intermediate Member Username: smokin_dave Post Number: 128 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - 3:15 pm:    Wow,that top is amazing.Cool looking Epic and somebody is going to get a deal on this one. bassman10096 Senior Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 471 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - 7:04 pm:    What I don't quite get is this: The seller describes the Epic as a floor model that one would assume had never left the store, got lost in inventory then found (essentially new old stock). Knowing the high quality and durability of Alembic components, and assuming limited hard playing time, why would the bass need pots replaced and "rewired"? If all this work and replacement was really done, you gotta hope they went to the trouble of ordering Alembic components. Nonetheless, the top is beautiful and the bass looks pretty much mint. the_mule Intermediate Member Username: the_mule Post Number: 138 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Sunday, June 27, 2004 - 12:15 am:    You're right, that's the strange part of this story. Certainly worth asking before bidding...
