Hello, I just became an offical Alembic Club member and I would like to know the history of this bass.  In particular, what is the body wood?  

Hey Steve,
Welcome to the forum.
Congratulations on a great looking Epic!
Play it Healthy!

Welcome to the club, Steve.  Nice Epic.  Looks like walnut to me.
