Could someone tell me where the serial number is located on an Epic?
There is one in a local music store I am seriously considering buying and I would like to check up on the serial number before I make a desicion, and while it's probably in a really obvious place, I would like to be sure before I go and look at again on Monday, as I am notoriously unobservant and might well end up looking like an idiot trying to find it.

It's in the electronics cavity.

back of the headstock on all of the set-necks that I have seen.

Both my 98 Epic 5 and 95 Epic 4 have one on the back of the headstock but not in the control cavity.

Hi Martin; welcome to the board! According to the Alembic serial number guide (http://www.alembic.com/support/reference.html#sernum), on Epics and Orions the serial number is stamped in the back of the peghead and in the electronics cavity; however, the oldest Epics have the serial number in the electronics cavity only. So check the back of the headstock first; and if it's not there, then take the backplate off and look in the control cavity.

My four string Epic was released 12/20/94. It has the serial number only in the electronics cavity. Rich had me thinking so I double checked the headstock but it's blank.
And I too must apologize for my manners, Martin. Welcome to the club. Good luck with the bass. If you decide to get it you won't be disappointed.
