Funny you should say this.  I am SERIOUSLY thinking of turning my cutting board (yes I have one) into a wall clock, so I'd definitely be adding to the original electronics.

James; if you set it up right, you can make the action a lot faster.

I ordered my Epic for $1199 brand new in 1997 or 1998.   They even upgraded my body style to the orion and added an additional tone switch.  I'm interested in getting another epic but fretless.  Does anyone know what the street price would be approximately?

Stock Epic 4s are regularly available for $800-1000 on the used market.  Fretless are less common and may command a slightly higher price as a result.  It's also hard to nail down a price for them as they appear on the block with less frequency.  
 
If you bought new, you'd probably be paying in the vicinity of $2500 ($3200 list) for one with no optional features.  As such, you might consider yourself lucky to find one used at $1500 that matches what you are looking for.
 
Good luck!
