There is an Epic on eBay right now but the owner knows nothing about it... Could you please provide the usual details for 98W11571? Thanks & Regards, Sean. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3719560854 valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 429 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 22, 2004 - 8:16 pm:    Hello Sean, I am not at work now, so I can't look it up, but I am a bit confused, since I see that the owner has already listed all the woods, which match the pictures well; other than the date of completion, I don't see what else I could tell you. It's got brass hardware and standard Epic electronics, that I can see from the pictures.

No problem, will check the scale lenght tomorrow.

Thanks for that. I'm not a collector, and I'm not looking for another bass (really, honest, not even thinking about it), but you know... if I saw an extra long scale, Series, mid- to late-70s vintage, preferably with solid Koa wings, and the only problem was that it had frets... But shoot, there really weren't any 5 strings back then - though I suppose I could string it BEAD? - and I really don't want to deal with the fancy cable and power supply... Well, nevermind. Good luck on your search. -Bob (Message edited by bob on April 23, 2004) valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 436 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Friday, April 23, 2004 - 11:02 am:    Sorry Sean, it's a 34 inch scale. Completed 6/3/98. Valentino
