1995 Epic V I just bought
« on: April 25, 2024, 06:20:30 AM »
I cleaned it, oiled the fretboard, and changed the strings. I also lowered the bridge. Further tweaks to the setup will be done if needed. This is my first fiver, it takes a bit to get adjusted to the scales.

Welcome. Excellent. Enjoy. I just noticed I used to words that begin with the letter "E". The same as Epic.

And a W for the serial code too.  8)

Thanks everyone for the kudos on the bass. I have now played it after the initial string change and setup and it's got the vibe I was looking for when I bought it. I will, for now, only play songs that I want to play on a fiver on it and save the covers band fare for my Fenders. But this bass gives me an incentive to branch out!
