Title: Logo on Epic 5?
Post by: richbass939 on December 23, 2005, 07:16:22 AM
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.

I have noticed it on all the Epic 5 pics I have seen but not on any other Alembics.

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.

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?

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 ...
