Very cool top. The simplicity of the bass sis its appeal. I bet its a dream to play. |

As a fellow fretless Orion owner, may I say congratulations! Orions are just plain fun to play; light weight, well balanced, and big sound (all without breaking the bank). Great top wood, and nice choice of electronics.... Best of luck, Chris |

Thanks folks. I've been very happy with it and glad I went ahead and ordered it last summer. Needless to say I was surprised and honored when I saw the note from Mica. I would also like to re-thank the people who shared their thoughts and pictures on ghost frets when I was still trying to decide. Keith |

Fantastic looking bass. I imagine it sounds every bit as good as it looks. Jazzyvee |

Nice custom! You'll love having the electronics setup you have! Being able to precisely tweak the bass and treble in addition to the filter and Q options greatly enhances precision control over sound. What is the range of your bass and treble controls? Is it +/- 12 dbs or +6 to -12 -or something else? My understanding is that the standard Epic/Orion controls cut to 12 but only boost to 6 dbs. Since I spec'ed my custom bass with bass and treble knobs -for each pickup- I'm always interested when I see others spec their instruments with both these AND the filter/Q system. Mine go +/- 12 dbs. I'm just curious about the other Alembic customs that have the knobs and/or the EMW setup. What range of boost cut do other players have? I find I rarely use the treble for more than a little, but I frequently max out the bass control(s) -especially on the neck pickup- to the max -and the full 12 db bass boost is awesome! Anyway, nice custom, and I salute your taste in electronics! |
