I bought this beautiful, mint shape Epic V last week (Craigslist) and have noticed the neck is unique!?! The 5 maple pieces that make up the neck are very different in shades.
 
Also, this bass has been defretted, and has a beautiful flame walnut body front.
 
Would love to know the build order on this one.
 
many thank, Bruce

Forgot that the original owner was in Maryland.  
 
Maple can come in lots of beautiful and differing shades. The two darker pieces are a bookmatch, just like the outside pair.  
 
I also noted in the file that the bass is fretless now.
