Title: (x) 95W8978
Post by: jack on November 03, 2005, 08:29:00 PM

I vaguely remember registering my Epic by snail mail when I bought it in 1996.
 
Any info you have on file would be great.  Materials just so I can double check myself, but more curious for whom it was made and was I the first owner other than the store where I bought her?
 
Many thanks,
Jack

Here's what was in the file:
 
top: Bocate
accent pinstripe: Maple
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple, 34 scale
fingerboard: Ebony
pickups: MXY
control: volume, pan, bass, treble
output: mono
originally sold to: Music Unlimited, CA
birthday: March 28, 1995
 
Ther is no ownership history for this bass, and I don't have your details on file, so you might want to re-register  online (http://www.alembic.com/cgi-bin/register.pl). If you puchased it from Music Unlimited, and you received a warranty card, then you are likely the first owner.

Thanks for the response.  I'll register online.
 
What is/was the warranty?
 
That's where I bought it.  That bass must've sat in the shop for just over a year, unless someone bought and returned it.  I'm kind've thinking maybe that was the story, as I got a very good price on it and I remember the salesman telling me some story like that.
 
Do stores order specific models and wood combos too, or do you guys make a few and then sell them to the stores?
 
Not really my business, just curious.
 
It is, as you know, a great instrument.  It has been my only bass for nine years now.  Never let me down.
