So, my music store owner calls me up this morning and tells me that the store just got an Alembic in. Told him to hold it. And I bought it...sorry...couldn't help it. This thing is amazing...oh wait...it's an Alembic.(http://club.alembic.com/Images/393/151394.jpg)

Very nice! Congrats!!

I always get a chuckle when I read about Epics as low end or entry level Alembics. I was just reminded last Saturday at a jam, how awesome my Epic is. Your's looks pretty sweet, enjoy.
Also one of my favorite body styles.

I've noticed a pattern of extra pretty top laminates on Epic basses.
Isn't that the kind of guitar stand that harms the finish? I've heard/read some horror stories about that orange/yellow rubber.

I am learning that every day. I was one of those that leaned toward the snobby side of the fence. Every Alembic is a voice, and, unfortunately for everyone else, their entry level stuff is already better at least than everything out there. These two set neck models are seriously bad motor scooters. The Orion is a band eater. I expect nothing less from the Epic. Articulation and power, baby!!! I have never had a problem with the stands, though this is not what I usually use for anything, especially an Alembic. My 60's Yamaha beach guitar sits in that one.

That orange-yellow rubber can do nasty things, over time, to light colored bodies. Be careful!

Oh yeah. Well aware of the rubber gremlins. Thanks for the lookouts, though. Need to work on a better pic. The Zebra top (what we were told by the previous owner) is really beautiful. I am loving it more and more. Just an amazing instrument.
