Beautiful bass, I have an Epic 4 string if your interested in a trade. I'm working on getting some pictures up. The Epic was made in 1990 with a bubinga top Gold Gotoh tuners etc. The only thing wrong with it is that the back of one of the back of the tuners is missing. It's a purely cosmetic issue. The bass plays amazing. Let me know if your interested at all! sean | ||

Hi Sean, Regarding your Epic, I'm sure it's a wonderful instrument, but I'm gonna pass on this one, and maybe have the Elan convert to a 4 strings. Not sure yet... I had the bass evaluate by a couple of stores who frequently sell Alembic since I had an offer from a potencial buyer. They go around for between 1500 to 1900$ market value and sometimes much lower. I paid 2,429.99 in 89 for that thing. Just found my invoice.It's obvious it wouldn't be wise to sell it, regarding the quality of it. I contacted Alembic a couples of years ago to have it convert to 4 strings, they asked just about the actual value of it to do the job! Take care Sean, Michel. | ||
