(x) EPIC 94W8491

[Kaziobazio]

Once again thank You for helping me out

Serial

[FC Bass]

Welcome and congrats!
Everything looks (very) good :-)
Epic basses have Volume, Pan, Bass and Treble controls, you can adjust the overall volume of the instrument with the blue trimpot.  (you can replace the Pan pot with a new one and have gain control for each pickup: http://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/panpreamp.html)

That logo is the standard style that was introduced in +/- 1977, they added the Alembic script in 1987 and went back to only the logo in about 2003. (though the script is still available at request) Here you can see some variations of logo styles: http://www.alembic.com/info/co.html

My guess would be Flamed Walnut for top, looks great!

Second bass looks like Bocate to me, looks like you have two Epics? (95W8891 is the 6 string?)

The logo on post #11 (marked- Pic 2) does look odd, like the etched detail is absent... almost looks like the old hand-cut style logo... maybe just out of focus? Hard to see on mobile.

[Kaziobazio]

Yes both of them are epics. Thank You for reply, each one cost  1500£
I was worried  to buy fake one,

[Kaziobazio]

This is focused one

[FC Bass]

No worries, they look great! :-)

I'm not sure if you can edit the first post, but it would make it a bit easier for Mica if you include 95W8891 to the subject line.
