Post by: navybass on February 19, 2006, 11:02:37 AM
I just bought this bass used the other day.  I am quite pleased with it.  The tone, the feal, the looks, everything.     Here are some pics.

I have to find out a bit on this bass.  If I read the serial number right it's a 93 because it starts out 93 XXXX.  I thought they started making Epics in 1994.

I know that discussion came up here before, so I don't think you're the first one to find one dated '93.  Let me look...
 
okay...
 
I just looked it up and found that one had a maple top, a build date in late November '93 and was serial number 93W8025.

Thank you all.  I love this bass.  I actually sold my 1976 Fender Jazz Bass to get this one.  She is sweet.

Wow, great pictures of a beautiful bass!  Well done.  I'm a guitarist myself, but once I got my hands on my Tribute, I realized everything had changed for the better forever and I'm never looking back.
