I ran across it today and know nothing about it but it looks interesting. Just who the heck was Fred anyway? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/msg/2522133014.html thumbsup Advanced Member Username: thumbsup Post Number: 358 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 6:19 pm:    Dont know Fred. Looks like an Epic Body. hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 946 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 6:27 pm:    I would buy it if it was Fred Ted... jcdlc72 Member Username: jcdlc72 Post Number: 87 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 7:57 pm:    >=20 >=20 >=20 > Seems like it used to have a Fred, maybe a previous owner. But now he = has Fred no more. Alembic basses are like cats. They own you, you don't = own them. ;) Oh, and by the way, seems to be a cousin of my fretted Epic = 5! >=20 >=20 >=20 jcdlc72 Member Username: jcdlc72 Post Number: 88 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 8:02 pm:    > > > > Sorry if this seems bothersome, but I'm testing something. Last message (above) was sent with Apple's Mail.app, on "rich text format" mode, and it added those "> " symbols at the beginning and end of the message. Posting this message on "plain text only" mode, which only puts the "> > > " signs. I'm starting to think it's related to my Unicode setting, which is probably set to "Spanish" as it is my primary language, or some other kind of setting on Mail.app -since other forum members have stated they can send with their Apple Mail.app without any hassle or strange coding-. So, if this message goes out with only the "> > > " signs, then so be it. I'll make it part of my "signature" look, hahaha!. > > > bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2583 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 8:07 pm:    jc, %20 is a space character in url encoding, so the "=20" may be the way that application represents spaces with that encoding system. -bob jcdlc72 Member Username: jcdlc72 Post Number: 90 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 8:25 pm:    > > > > Thanks, bsee!! Also.. taking a second, longer look at this bass's pics... Is that Volume/Balance/ Q switch and frequency pot? No further info on the listing (and certainly, no Fred!) > > > bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2584 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 9:39 pm:    I would guess that's correct on the electronics based on the controls. I really would miss Fred when there are five strings. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1744 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - 9:51 pm:    I thought Fred Less was the name Jimmy Johnson uses when he checks in to hotels on the road !
