Hi Sam,
 
Nice, I've always loved the Epic shape. I kept an eye on the auction, glad you decided to share your good fortune with the rest of us: the few, the proud, the understandably addicted . Welcome to the club.
 
Mike

Thanks,
I see you're a Texan.  The majority of my family is in the D/FW area.  Mostly Grand Prairie & Arlington.  I'm about the only one no longer there.  
Good to meet you
Sam

Way cool.I have a Zebrawood Epic myself that I bought new in 94'.Your Epic seems to be in top notch shape as mine has quite a few battle scars and a real dark patch where my wrist lays over the body.The finish is coming off too but I don't have the heart to refinish it.I would like to have Alembic just shoot a high gloss polyester finish over the top of the old just to preserve the worn look and have a new finish at the same time.We've been through a lot over the past nine years since it was the only bass I played all that time.And it's still going strong.I hope you get as much use and enjoyment out of yours as I still do with mine.

Those are some good pictures of a great looking bass.  NO, I'm not just saying that because I own an epic also   Now that you have it, do your best to never let it go.  
 
PS;Mike I really enjoyed your closing statement:the few, the proud, the understandably addicted. Stirring words and yet so true!

The bass is beautiful but the tone is just amazing!  This baby's not going anywhere.  She's stuck with me.

Oh, so here is your baby. I love the way zebrawood looks on the Epics. Alembic really knows how to lay a top down. I love the angles, really makes the bass flow. Get ready, you may never sell this bass but I bet this won't be the last.

I hope you're right about that.  After poking around here for awhile I've been drooling over all these Series 2 & MKs.  To bad my gear budget's blown for the next couple of years!
