Ordered it, waited patiently, got it, Love It!  Been recording with it and I am very impressed with what is coming out.  Now I know how they get the sound I could never quite find, and that is just direct.  I cant wait till I really start playing with the sound possibilities.  I cant even imagine what a series 2 would do, well, yes I can.  I can tell you that owning Alembic forces me to approach the instrument a bit differently than I would with other instruments I have owned in that my touch is much lighter now.  I get more with less effort and much better results.  I am a naturally agressive finger player and the Epic handles what I do with ease.  I love the neck width and the natural satin finish is very cool, especially on the neck.  Truly an Alembic player for life.

Congrats DRZ...let's see a pic of the new bass.
Take care,
Mike

drz, your Epic experience is identical to my own, lo these many years ago.  I must warn you, however, that you will be seized by a desire to own other members of the family--if an Alembic neck-through gets anywhere near you, RUN AWAY!!!  
 
However, as addictions go, this one is pretty beneficial.
 
Enjoy!

From one lefty Alembic lover to another;Isn't it so wonderful to have the greatest bass company in the world more than happy to build you anything left handed( and for no extra charge)! Oh, the possibilities!!! Mike D

well said mike d i had real trouble finding a good left handed bass until i stumbled on an epic for sale now its mine it also makes you want do do buisness with alembic rather than other companies that charge ?50 ($75) i no that is not that much but its a matter of principle anyway congrats on the new epic it sounds very beutiful i just got mine and have found the same things as you
another alembic player 4 life
