I'm no expert in used values, but it sure looks like a steal. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3101 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 5:26 pm:    I'm not sure what you're asking; but the bass in the picture is an Alembic Epic as described in the text. It's hard to tell much from the pictures, but the rear shot looks to be a really nice looking Mahogany body. It doesn't really look like Mahogany; but I would imagine that it is. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 732 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, January 30, 2006 - 7:05 am:    The mahogany back does look a lot like the one on my 94 Epic - nice grain, nice colour streaks. A high-gloss finish has a very different effect on the mahogany than a PU satin finish - personally, I prefer the satin finish.
