4 string Orion with Epic neck.
I am looking to buy this bass, just wanted to check its history.

Many Thanks

As far as I know, Orion and Epics are build the same way (Set neck instead of neck-thru), and I guess the peghead (headstock) can be also ordered according to your taste (Cone, Crown, knobby, and so...), as shown in the custom quoter. But then again, a pic speaks more than a thousand words, so, if you can, show us!

Anyway mystery solved. Many Thanks
