Bought in 1997..

 

Hello Graeme,
Very nice quilt! I'm going to have to think long and hard about a fiver, and what top I'd like. Yours is certainly a beautiful example.

Excellent! Beautiful bass, that's why it's called an Epic.
 
Sam

Yeah, I was really lucky the bass centre in birmingham had this one in stock when I was looking for a five string. She's so attractive I can't walk past without picking 'her' up. I've been thinking long and hard about a fretless 5 to join the stable but approval has to come from mrs J ;-(

Damn.....  That's one beautiful Epic.

I love quilted maple and this is a fine example of why I do. Enjoy!
 
Rory

here's a new one with her little sister.

 
Graeme (the proud one)

What a pair.  Beautiful.
Rich

Very nice basses, Graeme!

Yeah!
And I've been lucky enough to play both of them.They are both superb instruments.

Cheers Guys, i find havng an Alembic sitting around the house very inspiring - quite often means I'm 10 or 15 minutes late leaving the house in the mornings ;-)
 
george, we really need to sort out an Alembic playing day - I can't wait to try out your series.
 
Graeme

But it's a 4 string, with light gauge strings!
That wouldn't suit you----or would it??
Just for a trial at least.
 
George

Graeme
How about updating the thread with pictures of the peacock blue strings?
 
Sam

I'll try to get some tonight sam.
George - I really want to find out how the series sounds for a potential future (we're talking 5 years away) project

As promised.
