I bought this beautiful, mint shape Epic V last week (Craigslist) and have noticed the neck is unique!?! The 5 maple pieces that make up the neck are very different in shades.
Also, this bass has been defretted, and has a beautiful flame walnut body front.
Would love to know the build order on this one.
many thank, Bruce(http://club.alembic.com/Images/394/109802.jpg)

Forgot that the original owner was in Maryland.
Maple can come in lots of beautiful and differing shades. The two darker pieces are a bookmatch, just like the outside pair.
I also noted in the file that the bass is fretless now.
