About This Listing

Selling my 1995 Alembic Epic 5 string. This is the most well built bass I’ve ever owned. Unfortunately, I am not a 5 string guy, but the neck on this one is extremely comfortable and easy to play. The bass sounds great…it’s an Alembic after all. I currently have labella tapewounds on it, but will include a set of unopened d’addario flats and a set of Rotosound roundwounds that were on a bass for about 3 minutes before I took them off. It also comes in a hard case, which has definitely seen some use, but is still very much functional.
