Is it just my eyes or does the logo on an Epic 5 seem to be rotated a bit counter-clockwise? Here is a pic of my 5. http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/17267.html?1111100980 I have noticed it on all the Epic 5 pics I have seen but not on any other Alembics. Rich | ||

On the close-up of the 5 headstock, there's a dark shadow to the left of the headstock, which is probably misleading you. | ||

It looks good to me. The relative position of the A tuner could be making it look crooked. Sam | ||

My pictures don't show it very clearly. When I got out a square and checked them "in person" I found that the Epic 5 logo is tilted a bit counter-clockwise. I "drew" a line through 2 points on the logos of my 5 and 4. The line on the 5 is about 1/2 inch toward the G string (about where it crosses the nut) compared to the same line on the 4-string. I have looked at many "Showcase" pics of 5-string Epics and they all seem to have tilted logos. Does anyone have both 5 and 4 Epics who can look at their basses and compare? Rich | ||

The logos are put on by hand, I'm sure you'll find all sorts of rotations, some more pronounced than others. | ||

Sometimes even the Alembic name gets lopsided ... (Message edited by adriaan on January 10, 2006) | ||
