-I have for sale a 1995 Alembic Epic 5 fretless bass. -This bass looks brand new. There is not a mark on it, and has that new bass look. -I am the second owner, but due to a broken left index finger I am not able to play it in a way I would like. -This bass started out as a fretted bass, but the previous owner had them professionally removed, and maple slices glued into the fretboard. -I have had this bass about 6 months, and have had the fretboard "dressed" by a local luthier. -The neck on this bass is beautiful with alternating white and chocolate maple. Please see picture. -The front face of this bass is the optional, and beautiful flame walnut. -The bass comes with the original, perfect shape Alembic hard case and has the supplied tools that come with the bass. -I am asking what I paid for the bass. $1850 plus will split the shipping charge. Suggest Fedex. -If you want to hear this bass, i believe I can send you a link to hear this exact bass played by the previous owner. Great MMMMMWWWWWWWAAAAAAA! -Please view the pictures, and thanks for reading, Bruce  | ||

The mark on the top (actually the bottom) of the body, as seen in the rear view is a natural in the wood, and the black marks on the back of the neck are from being in the case most of it's life. I need to contact Alembic on how to remove those black marks. Bruce | ||

maple fretted epic 4? Judging by your name, I'm not sure how interested in 4 strings you are. | ||

Think I will pass on the maple fretted epic 4. I have two 4 string basses, and they just sit. If I were to take a trade, it probably would need to be a 5 string. Thanks anyway. As for Peter- nutted, not fretted. (nyuk nyuk) Bruce | ||
