The more I play my Epics, the more I love them. I love the tone, the way they play, the size and shape. I am not a very big guy (5'10). I like the fact that the Epic is a little smaller than say a Stingray or Jazz bass but still has that killer Alembic tone. Although I still love my '76 Precision. I really like the support that I have received from the Alembic community. I feel like I have been welcomed into the family. What can I say, I'm sold on Alembic! Thanks all!
