WOW. Buy it now if it's not gone already! It's on the "low end" of Alembic, but that's a ridiculously low price.

Did some quick research, this certainly looks like an Alembic epic which sells for more usually. Hopefully he hasn't sold it, I'll let you guys know. Thanks OP for the info.

I've owned a 1998 Epic for nearly 10 years. They are beautiful instruments & nice to look at, too. 8-)

PM me if setting up a neck with 2 truss rods is confusing. I'm just a few miles to the South of you, in the City.

Thanks bro, I'll give you a heads up. Anything I should look for when giving it a whirl? Truss rods maxed, electronics?

I'll def need help with a 2 truss rod neck

Now I really want this bad boy!

Missed out on it, guy got offered $700 & he went with that. If the bass wasn't ugly as holy hell I would have gotten into a bidding war, Oh well!
