alembic epic

[Bloc Riff Nut]

I'm thinking of swapping my Fender Jazz for an Alembic Epic but I can't find a place to check the serial number of the Alembic. Had no luck on the Alembic site. Any ideas.
The serial is 95W8826 USA.

Send Alembic an email with the serial number and they will get back to you with the info. Looks ligit. It was made in 1995 and the W indicates its an Epic. Hard to tell from the pic but looks like a Walnut or Bubinga top and standard spec.

The Epics are great basses and you wont be dissapointed.

if you want to know anything just ask. I have an Epic and im a bit of a fan boy.

I just checked the Almbic website. Go into the forum and join there is a serial number identification thread. [url="http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/22072.html?1310202882"]http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/22072.html?1310202882[/url]

I had an Alembic SC model a few years back. I emailed Alembic with the serial number and they told me everything there was to know about the bass - the year it was made, who it was made for (the Basscentre), what woods etc.

To be honest, the construction of these, as with Wal, Jaydee, Fodera etc is top notch. You'd be able to spot a fake pretty easily I think.

The Epic like all Alembic's are great instruments.

I think that the serial number suggests that it's a 1995 model.
