Author Topic: Wanted: Alembic Epic Beater / Project (Read 289 times)

I'm looking for ANY epic that someone's willing to lose for a ridiculous deal. Doesn't matter the condition, scratched to hell, broken electronics, even damaged structurally. Would appreciate something in working condition, but willing to take anything you'll let go.

Can spend up to a thousand for the right one. Looking to spend around 700-800 for a working, but cosmetically beaten epic, would spend a thousand for something closer to nice and would spend 400-500 for something I'd need to repair before being able to play.

I hope you guys have something that fits my needs that you don't need anymore. I'm happy with any wood combination, just let me know!

I take it you are the guy on TalkBass, right?

Hah, yeah. Just signed up over here. It's a small world, and I expected some overlap, but hoping to reach more alembic owners over here.

Help out someone desperate to own an Alembic?

I have an Orion (not an Epic, but also set-neck) that I never play. Plays fine, but could use a refinish and maybe a fret job. Not willing to sell for a ridiculous deal, but I'm willing to let it go. http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/75761.html?1274647197

Mike - I e-mailed you.

Still looking, found a couple craigslist ads for epics no where near me in excellent condition for 950. Hoping to pick it up, but it means they'd have to ship it, if they're willing

Wish me luck

I have an Epic for sale. I emailed you, please give me a call. Steve

Still trying to find the right epic. Some car problems arose, so It'll be a couple weeks before I can buy, but I'm still in the market. Let me know if you have anything.

Looking to spend about 1000-1100.

Precarius got a different bass, so my Orion is still available.
