I am buying a 1995 Epic 5 on a local board in Finland. Any more details besides manufacturing year would be welcome.

The lookup may take a while, as they are done in batches when time allows. The hive mind here can tell you more, but there is little we can tell from just the back of the neck.

You can safely assume it has a mahogany back, an all-maple set neck with an ebony board, volume balance bass and treble controls, 34" scale.  Do you have other pics?

Can you check the serial number again? The S must be a number.

Zooming in, it looks a lot like 95W9163.

Thanks, I will see the bass in person on Tuesday.

Looks like a pretty standard, natural bubinga top.

Hey Jyrki, happy to see you found us here! 😊 When I saw rust_preacher, I thought; no way, that's got to be him!


Hope it works out for this Epic.

Well, indeed! We know each other from TalkBass. Looks like we have both persevered!

Yes, I stand corrected, the serial is 95W9163
