I'm selling this beauty because I'm buying a brand new Stanley Clark Signature and it's the only way I can afford it. If you're interested in a 5 string Epic you won't find one closer to new shape than this one. And the case is in almost new shape too.

If interested post here or you can contact me at korg@comcast.net

FYI,
I decided to keep this bass. I was going to sell it to help pay for my Stanley Clark Signature but have found a way to make it work. So I guess I'll have to SUFFER owning 3 Alembics!
The only question now is do I have the Epic or the Persuader made into a fretless. :-)

Nice...glad to hear that you could work out a way to hold on to her...it's a beautiful bass.
How is you Stanley Clark coming along?

The SC is definitely my main AXE! I've never played such a wonderful bass before ... it's a dream come true. I'm glad i don't have to sell the Epic too. It has sustain forever, it's in NEw shape and really has a kicking sound. In a few months I'm sending my Persuader back to Alembic and having it remanufactured as a fretless and having a Q switch added. Then I'm done for a while ... At least my girl hopes I'm done for a while. :-) Thanks for asking about the SC and yes the Epic is a beauty too ... I'm glad I can keep her!

Good choice of having the Persuader defretted! This way, you'll have fretted 4 and 5, and a fretless 4, which will (IMHO) make your gear more versatile.

And... Of course, congrats!!!
