Title: (x) 98C11419 custom Epic/Essence/Rogue/?
Post by: Songdog on August 18, 2022, 02:19:02 PM

I just bought this bass, it's an interesting chimera. Body shape is Epic, but with the neck-through construction of an Essence, the electronics of a Rogue or Europa, and a split P-bass style neck pickup.

Love it! It's actually very fitting, since this purchase was made possible by a gift certificate given to me on the occasion of my (semi-)retirement (from a non-musical profession), which gives me a lot more time to devote to playing bass.

Thanks for looking this up! I put that birthday on my calendar - it's a good excuse to buy new strings  ;D
