I contacted the lister and he hasn't replied. I'm not an epic fan but for that price i'd buy it for sure.

Appears to be the same one as posted under Wanted & Wishing - 100 bucks less, and an e-mail address.

Sorry for the rhyming - it's getting close to December 5 here in the Netherlands.

December 6 is Saint Nicolas Day - patron saint of Amsterdam, sailors and small children (in whichever order you prefer). He arrives mid-November in his steamboat from Spain, usually in a picturesque old harbour town - it's one of the TV events of the year over here.

The night of December 5 is Boxing Evening: people exchange gifts packed up as something else, but always accompanied by a doggerel verse. Little children get their presents the next morning.

I'm grabbing this one. I'll be offering it to the bass player in my band. He currently plays a fretted Epic 5 and recently started playing an upright, so I thought he'd like to check out a fretless Epic.

Bill, tgo

Good catch! I bet he will be able to get a nice fretless growl from this one ___

Did you get it Ibpesq? I've tried to contact the owner to ask about it and see photos several times and received no reply.

Well another day passes and the owner hasn't contacted me. Perhaps it's sold? In any event I give up. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

I got a response today. Bill, why did you decide not to buy???

88persuader · « **Reply #11 on:** December 03, 2009, 08:03:23 PM »

Why haven't I gotten a reponse? Strange!

Well Mike if you buy post photos so I can see what I missed out on.

I spoke with the seller by phone on Tuesday. We agreed. He was supposed to be checking with UPS on shipping costs and then getting back to me. If he's now selling to someone else it's news to me. I'm sitting here waiting for his email with the final price!

Bill, tgo

For some reason my brain saw Essence when I read Epic, so I'm actually NOT interested in this bass. The seller didn't tell me he already had a deal with Bill. However, this was all via a brief Email exchange. But I would proceed with caution. I actually asked him to take a photo of the bass with a current newspaper (with the date clearly visible) also displayed in order to verify that he actually had the bass.

So, what happened on this?
