Hello my friends. 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.

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.

Thanks Val -- was really interested in the scale length -- I have a blind hope of finding a 35 Epic that I can convert to a fretless :-)

Ah, that makes sense! No problem, will check the scale lenght tomorrow.

Sean,
It's funny, we may have very different views in some areas, but it sure is hard to argue about a 35(+) inch fretless :-)
Yeah, I kind of think you're dreaming here, but it opened my mind to the possibility of finding something close and putting on a new fingerboard. 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.

Sorry Sean, it's a 34 inch scale.
Completed 6/3/98.
