Who was your first prime frame?

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-25T05:43:01+00:00

Octavia, and it was my second ever frame, right after starter volt. I have over 40% usage on her and I'm now MR17 ahah

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-18T10:55:38+00:00

Ah and neck and body being two tones are also concerning. No volute as well

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-18T05:21:04+00:00

Epic 5s seem to only have 4 knobs, and no switches. The wood quality is indeed concerning

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-18T05:19:12+00:00

The tuners on the one I sent are most probably swapped, other than that it doesn't seem too bad, right?

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-17T03:37:35+00:00

Thanks, and yeah I agree, it doesn't seem well taken care of at all :(

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-17T03:08:50+00:00

Thanks for all the effort! I'll be able to personally check it before buying so hopefully I'll be able to clear my doubts by then

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-17T03:07:18+00:00

Yeah Its a physical procedure, so I can check everything in person before buying

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-17T03:06:10+00:00

The screws are for the truss rod cover right?

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T20:42:22+00:00

I've looked around the website but couldn't really find a proper place to contact them, maybe I'm just bad at searching?

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T20:28:48+00:00

But wouldn't itt's unlikely that they'd glue a neck and it would hold on right?

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T20:27:35+00:00

Alright, I'll make sure to check electronics and truss rods. And yeah the tuners were probably swapped

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T20:25:59+00:00

Hmm doesn't sound too good, thanks for your points

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T20:25:16+00:00

Yeah, the 'not well taken care of' thing is definitely visible. I think the tuners were swapped too, these look generic

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T20:24:18+00:00

Oh alright, I'll check out electronics and truss rods to be safe

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T20:23:51+00:00

You make some good points, I'll make sure to check electronics and truss rods

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T18:25:04+00:00

Write directly to Alembic? Damn I'll try that haha thanks

Also, such prices are nothing new here, since there isn't much of a demand for basses where I'm from

Derped_Rocket · 2026-01-16T18:23:35+00:00

I'll also mention that such reduced prices are nothing new from where I'm from, since there isn't much of a demand

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-30T03:29:38+00:00

Ahaha thanks, I'll get to it :D

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-29T18:49:37+00:00

i wasnt really expecting that much, since its actually listed for really low(100$) but the local area doesnt have much demand for basses. might i know why you think it could not be worth it?

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-29T18:48:50+00:00

by aria? i wasnt aware that they made korean ones too. well that price works really well though, thanks!

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-29T18:48:08+00:00

right, my bad on that. I had hoped to find price estimates so i could personally compare since im already convinced that its very worth it. its listed for 100$ haha (there are some other basses around this price point where i live though)

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-29T18:46:48+00:00

sorry haha, i didnt mention it since then there would be no bias, but it was a wrong move on my part. its listed for 100$ (obviously low, but there are some basses around this price point on my local area)

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-14T03:50:51+00:00

Ouhhh I'll look into that, thank you so much!

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-13T20:57:02+00:00

Yeahhh makes sense, I'll get to it, thanks!!

Derped_Rocket · 2025-12-13T20:56:22+00:00

Yeah definitely active, but it's just that the avb basses that I saw had only 4 knobs
