I own an 81 Distillate 4 (Koa top), which I use for recording, and live gigs with my Grateful Dead influenced band Ragweed. (http://club.alembic.com/Images/394/1026.jpg)
 
I also have a 98 Epic 4 (Flame Walnut top), which is used for my originals band Pickled Beats.  
 
Both basses are played through an Ampeg B-2R with a DBX 166 compressor/gate into a Crate 15 cab and a SWR Goliath Junior III (2-10)

I've just purchased my third Alembic, a 1999 Epic (SN# 99W11994). I bought it on Ebay last week from a man in the Milwaukee area, and received it tonight. It's lined fretless customized with red side LEDs, a knobby peghead, and a Hipshot drop-tuner on the E string. It has a flame maple top lam  and an original hardshell case. I'll be posting pictures in the club soon!

Sounds very cool, waiting for the pics. Interesting it has a knobby peghead.  Wonder if the original owner ordered it that way or the folks at Alembic just felt like doing something different. I notice there's no C as a prefix to the s/n.
