It's brought me much joy, but about six months ago I decided to start focusing on playing fretless bass. I love playing fretless, and I love my Epic, but the speedbumps keep getting in my way. I don't really want to defret my baby, so I figured I'd reach out to the community. Does anyone have a four string fretless epic they are interested in selling? Ideally, I'd prefer a darker wood (to match my fretted) with lines, but am flexible. So, anyone got a bass for sale? Thanks in advance, Joe davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7988 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 8:15 pm:    Joe; I think if you are patient, you should be able to get what you are looking for. Finding one that's lined might take a little longer. But I think fretless Epics are common enough that it's worth waiting for. ojo Junior Username: ojo Post Number: 18 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 9:05 pm:    Thanks for the advice Dave. From what I've seen, I think you're right. If nothing else, I'm patient. zonker Junior Username: zonker Post Number: 14 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 - 8:05 am:    Hi Joe, I still have this lined fretless... http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/56598.html?1223745679 Robert jack Advanced Member Username: jack Post Number: 204 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 - 9:41 am:    Zonker- that's a beauty. You don't see too many lined fretless (Alembics anyway). Ojo, I don't suppose you're left handed? http://cgi.ebay.com/94-ALEMBIC-EPIC-FRETLESS-LEFTY_W0QQitemZ170337718338QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item27a8eb5042&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 (Message edited by jack on May 29, 2009) dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1151 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 - 11:21 am:    I have a lined fretless Epic.
