Title: 1994 Epic - Walnut Top - 94W8495 USA
Post by: synapticgroove on October 20, 2013, 07:49:39 AM

Hello all,
 
She is two days old (for me anyway) and I've strung her with d'addario nylon tape wounds - medium - and cleaned her up a bit.  I haven't touched the hardware yet, as I've been too busy recording!  She is replacing a Warwick 5 string. ;)

Although she isn't a series I or II, the tone is immaculate.  I don't really know how to describe it in relation to other basses, but it's what I'd imagine the voice of god to sound like.
 
Thanks for letting me be a part of the club!

Oh yeah, gentlemen, she's been my go to bass since I picked her up in 2013.  Attached is a recent shot of her with a friend!

Are the position markers original? I had an Epic 5 for a while that I loved, but I really missed the top of the fretboard markers, so I sold it.
